The Measure of Economies: Measuring Productivity in an Age of Technological Change

Marshall B. Reinsdorf

Productivity statistics were built for a different economy, and this is the technical case for fixing them.

Edited by Marshall B. Reinsdorf and Louise Sheiner, this collection asks how productivity should be measured when much of what an economy produces is digital, free at the point of use, or hard to price at all. The contributors are careful about which measurement problems are genuine and which are artefacts of the accounting.

Marshall B. Reinsdorf and Louise Sheiner, The Measure of Economics: Measuring Productivity in an Age of Technological Change, is a very useful and well-reasoned book.
