Sustaining Productivity Growth in the Twin Transition

This workshop will highlight the challenges and opportunities to productivity growth of managing the twin transition. Transitioning the economy from fossil fuels towards clean energy sources is a major policy challenge at the core of the green transition. At the same time, advances in digital technologies are rapidly changing production processes for goods and services across different sectors in the economy. 

These have critical implications in terms of productivity and ultimately economic growth. The workshop will draw on recent outputs from the OECD under the MapProdIGIS project (Microdata analysis for Policies for Productivity, Innovation, Growth, Inclusion and Sustainability), supported by the European Commission. 

It will present latest evidence from two of the key pillars of the project: technology adoption and diffusion, and sustainability. The workshop will conclude with a policy panel to better understand how policy makers can ensure a twin transition that best harnesses economic growth.
