Productivity Growth in Denmark - Part 2
The Danish economy has seen weak productivity growth in recent years – both in comparison with previous years and with other western countries. But the exact reason is difficult to pinpoint. In terms of a number of the parameters that are normally associated with productivity growth, such as research and development, education and labour-market structure, Denmark is in a good position in international comparisons. Increased competition and openness to international trade may, however, potentially contribute to improving future productivity growth. As regards education, greater priority to specific disciplines, particularly in the social and natural sciences, may contribute to higher productivity growth. Finally, it is important to focus on the mobility and flexibility of the Danish economy.
