Issue 42 is a large issue (211 pages) comprising four regular articles and a first four-article symposium on productivity and well-being linkages (Part I). The regular articles cover: construction value chain productivity in Europe (Kuusi, Kulvik & Junnonen); the China effect on manufacturing productivity in high-income countries via input-output analysis (Lind); trading gains measurement using Törnqvist indices (Kohli); and why U.S. labour productivity surged in 2020Q2 (Stewart). A separate introduction to the Part I Symposium follows.

Le numéro 42 est un numéro volumineux (211 pages) comprenant quatre articles réguliers et les quatre premiers articles d’un symposium sur les liens entre productivité et bien-être (Partie I). Les articles réguliers portent sur : la productivité des chaînes de valeur de la construction en Europe; l’effet de la Chine sur la productivité manufacturière dans les pays à revenu élevé; la mesure des gains d’échange à l’aide des indices de Törnqvist; et les raisons de la forte hausse de la productivité du travail américaine au deuxième trimestre 2020.
