Resumen de Where digitization is failing to deliver
In a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research in February, Chad Syverson, J. Baum Harris Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, argued that the slowdown in the rate of productivity growth is real. In an interview, Syverson discusses what the implications are, and why the benefits of new technologies are not as straightforward as we think. Syverson says official productivity measures have shown that there's been a slowdown in growth rates since about 2004. One potential explanation is that the frontier is moving: the possibilities are there, but they aren't being picked up, they aren't diffusing as fast as they used to. So while the leading edge might be moving out at the same rate it always has, the average company in the economy is not keeping up.
