The report "Productivity Dynamics in Industries Requiring High and Low Skills, Before and After the Global Crisis, in the Economies of Europe, Japan, Russia and the USA" was presented at the Conference held at the NIS HSE

At the international conference “Experience and Challenges in Studying Incomes and Welfare in the Countries of Eastern Europe and the CIS” that went to NRU HSE, a report was presented entitled “Dynamics of productivity in sectors requiring high and low qualifications, before and after the global crisis, in the economies of Europe, Japan, Russia and the USA "sponsored by Vokoboinikov I. B., Kirsten Jager and Robert Stehrer

The paper considers the dynamics of labor productivity and total factor productivity of the four largest economies in the world. It turned out that in all four economies in the post-crisis years, the growth of the TFP of sectors with a high intensity of labor use was ahead of the TFP of the sectors requiring low qualifications. At the same time, the positive contribution of the first group of sectors was insufficient for the growth of TFP in the economy as a whole. Apparently, post-crisis growth in industries requiring high qualifications is a global phenomenon and requires further study.
