A more dynamic economy
A Fred Gruen public lecture by Hon Dr Andrew Leigh MP
In recent times, Australia has experienced a productivity slowdown. A growing body of research points to a lack of dynamism, with fewer start-ups, lower rates of job switching and less geographic mobility. Relative to other advanced countries, Australia’s best firms appear to be falling away from the global productivity frontier.
Hon Dr Andrew Leigh MP presents new evidence on these challenges and discusses their importance to increasing productivity, which is essential to raising living standards long term.
