The evidence session focused on what and how productivity can be improved. Keynote speakers include: Witnesses: Beata Javorcik, Chad Syverson and Chiara Criscuolo.
Following the successful launch of the UK Productivity Commission, the first evidence session explored the topic of “sizing the productivity problem: international, national, regional and sectoral aspects”. The 18 commissioners asked questions of four witnesses to gain an understanding of the scope of the issue. Further evidence sessions will explore potential solutions to the challenges identified.
Structured as a roundtable, this event will provide more information about the aims and objectives of the Productivity Commission, and include talks from Professor Jagjit S. Chadha, the Chair of the Commission, as well as Professor Bart van Ark, Managing Director of The Productivity Institute, Cecilia Wong from the University of Manchester and Gillian Bristow from the University of Cardiff .
