Some people are criticising our chart for averaging out the EU. This was done owing to space limitations in print. I wanted to show the G7, a standard comparison group for Britain. France, Germany and Italy are all lower than Britain. Here's how the OECD presents the data:

We address the recent (unfortunate but interesting) debate on whether the observed slowdown of European productivity wrt to the US is real or not. For a technical discussion, see also this paper : https://t.co/FSfssLMk16

👇Very interesting paper on the Organization of Firms, by @EricMengus & Michalski @HECParis

It highlights the important role of specialized knowledge-generating jobs: think jobs in B2B or legal services, marketing, economic modeling, etc.

These jobs are arguably a bit neglected in economic theories of the firm.

The paper shows that they form a substantial share of 🇫🇷 mnfg. firms' employment, are non-managerial but high up in the firm hierarchy, and lead to improved firm performance in part by expanding demand.

Knowledge jobs help firms to influence demand

📣Firms don’t just compete on costs - they shape demand.
In new @voxeu column with @TomKMichalski , I show how “knowledge jobs” (not only R&D but also legal, marketing...) play this role within firms - outside mgmt.

@Columbia @EricMengus @TomKMichalski We document and model four key facts: the universality of labor market polarization in cities; a city-size difference in the shock magnitudes; a skew in the types of middle-paid jobs lost; and the role of polarization in the great urban divergence of high vs. low-paid jobs.

@a_bergeaud @MathieuL1 A quelle année correspond le point d'inflexion dans les années 2000 juste avant la hausse de 20% du ratio ? Il serait intéressant de comprendre ce qui est lié aux lois Hartz et au nombre d'heures travaillées par tête.

I want to thank Don and Eric for an unforgettable experience that started with all Appendices to resemble rather a book than a paper.
