The issue leads with an OECD article on AI and productivity, followed by a four-article symposium on the UK productivity puzzle (Martin on timing and drivers; Gouma, McCann & Ortega-Argilés on regional disparities; ONS response; Heys on public service productivity; Fisher on de-industrialization). A review article by Syverson covers a new volume on productivity measurement. Le numéro 48 marque l’élargissement de l’équipe de rédaction de l’IPM avec l’arrivée de Paul Schreyer (ancien statisticien en chef de l’OCDE, maintenant directeur de recherche à l’ESCoE) en tant que rédacteur. Le numéro est ouvert par un article de l’OCDE sur l’IA et la productivité, suivi d’un symposium en quatre articles sur l’énigme de productivité du Royaume-Uni et un article de recension par Syverson sur un nouveau volume consacré à la mesure de la productivité.
