Evidence is growing that we’re turning the corner on productivity. US productivity grew at a 3.6% annual rate this past quarter. That’s more than double the 1.5% average from 2007-2019. The new numbers put me further ahead for my bet with Bob Gordon about productivity growth in the 2020s. 💪 Here’s how far the US is now ahead of the CBO estimate at the start of the decade (before they knew about the pandemic or LLMs) courtesy of @jasonfurman’s Econvitals.

In urban China, cuts to pension generosity in 1997 and 2005 led households to save more and work longer, explaining around a quarter of the rise in the household saving rate and half the rise in working hours between 1995 and 2009. voxdev.org/topic/public-econ…

Argentina has reached another milestone. The @WorldBankGroup approved a US$2 billion guarantee package in support of the government’s macroeconomic stabilization agenda coupled with its progress in key structural reforms to foster private sector-led growth. When commitment to reform is strong and the opportunity for impact is real, this is when engagement matters most. 🇦🇷 worldbank.org/en/news/press-…
