Productivity varies widely between industries and countries, but even more so across individual firms within the same sectors. The challenge for governments is to strike the right balance between policies designed to increase overall productivity and policies designed to promote the reallocation of resources towards firms that could use them more effectively.

Altomonte and di Mauro convincingly argue that leveraging big datasets on firms boosts understanding of TFP as a driver of economic growth by reducing the scope for conceptual and measurement errors.'
