"...the strong evidence that we find for a productivity‐employment growth
tradeoff changes the questions that European policymakers should be asking. They
should no longer ask how they should boost productivity growth or raise
employment growth. Most policies will push productivity and employment in
opposite directions, and we have shown that these offsetting effects make the
effects of policies on growth in output per capita ambiguous. Our new policy
framework suggests that policy changes be assessed as much on their effects on
government budgets as on productivity or employment, since the
productivityemployment tradeoff causes some policy changes to have a negligible
effect on growth in output per capita.."
