Why is Productivity so Dispersed?

WP No. 049-November-2006

Rachel Griffith, Jonathan Haskel and Andy Neely

Many papers have documented wide variations in productivity even in narrowly defined industries. Some have argued that this primarily reflects measurement problems due to, for example, comparing across different products. Others argue this reflects persistent differences in performance due, for example, to management. This paper looks at productivity differences not within an industry but within a firm using data on productivity of different branches within lines of business of a major UK- based wholesaler.
