Peak Pals! We're re-airing some of our favourite episode of the Free Lunch podcast. today we're talking about productivity with William Huggins, a lecturer on corporate finance, economics, and statistics at the DeGroote School of Business, about:
- What productivity is and how we measure it.
- Why productivity matters for the economy.
- Why wages have become disconnected from productivity.
- Why Canada's productivity is lagging behind other developed countries.
- How some countries without many natural economic advantages have supercharged their productivity.
- What Canada can do to boost our productivity, and what it would mean for our economy.
