This report is the first comprehensive framework on how to
facilitate SMEs and LIDCs access to and upgrading within global
value chains. It identifies policy interventions at the global
level needed to support domestic reforms.
The stagnation of productivity in the developing world, and indeed,
across the globe, over the last two decades dictates a rethinking
of productivity measurement, analysis, and policy. Reviving Global
Productivity presents a "second wave" of thinking in three key
areas of productivity analysis and its implications for
productivity policies. The volume calls into question the
measurement and relevance of distortions as the primary barrier to
productivity growth, urges a broader concept of firm performance
that goes beyond efficiency to quality upgrading and demand
expansion, and explores what it takes to generate an experimental
and innovative society where entrepreneurs have the personal
characteristics to identify new technologies and manage risk within
an entrepreneurial ecosystem that facilitates their doing so. It
also reviews arguments surrounding industrial policies. The authors
argue for an integrated approach to productivity analysis that
incorporates both the need to reduce economic distortions and
generate the human capital capable of identifying the opportunities
offered to follower countries and upgrade firm capabilities.
Finally, it offers guidance on prioritizing policies when there is
uncertainty around diagnostics and limited government capability.
