The Productivity Gap Between Frontier Firms and Laggards
Why are the most productive firms racing ahead while the rest stagnate? Lucas and Luna explore the growing productivity gap between the top 10% and bottom 90% of firms, using data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics and OECD. They unpack the role of management practices (citing the Bloom-Van Reenen survey), technology diffusion, and market power. The episode examines why access to the same digital tools doesn't close the gap, and what policymakers could do to spread best practices. A focused look at one of the most consequential puzzles in modern economics.
