Productivity growth means getting more output from fewer inputs. It is a key goal of conventional economic policy. But ‘productivity growth’ is a vague concept and there are large gaps in our understanding of it. This ESRC funded project explores links between the different types of productivity and two major gaps: the relationship between energy and producanoctivity, and wellbeing and productivity. The aim is to map the existing evidence base and guide future ESRC productivity research.
