Description

Unternehmen investieren heute nicht mehr nur in Maschinen und Bauten, sondern zunehmend in Forschung und Entwicklung, Software und in ihre digitalen Kompetenzen. Doch bei den Investitionen in ihr sogenanntes Wissenskapital liegen die deutschen Unternehmen im internationalen Vergleich deutlich zurück. Das gefährdet die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der deutschen Volkswirtschaft insgesamt.

Cover Inclusive Productivity

The aim of the "Inclusive Productivity" project was to bring into the public debate an issue that is crucial for the social market economy and yet often underestimated: the increasing inequality in productivity development between companies and regions. During the project period from 2018 to early 2022, the aim was firstly to understand what the causes and consequences of this growing inequality are. On the other hand, options were developed as to what economic policy can do to increase productivity growth across the corporate landscape and thus also counteract social divisive tendencies.
