Commission research paper (Australia. Productivity Commission).

Summary

The rationale for microeconomic reform is to raise the living standards of the community. Following a broad program of economic reforms, Australia's productivity growth - the major determinant of peoples' incomes over the long term - has surged in the 1990s. That this represents a break with past trends is becoming clear. But some important questions remain. How much of the improvement in productivity can be attributed to microeconomic reform? How have the gains been distributed? What have been the adjustment implications? The Productivity Commission has a broad program of research designed to shed light on such questions, both to assist policy makers and to help promote public awareness of issues that are central to Australia's economic future. This paper lays a framework for exploring the nature and significance of the links between microeconomic reforms and productivity. In addition to examining general trends, it gets behind the aggregates and into the detail of particular reforms and the responses of individual firms and industries. The research is not intended to be definitive. But it does add weight to the view that microeconomic reforms are contributing to an enduring transformation of the Australian economy and its productivity performance.ether, 'problem g
