Abstract:
|
The global economy is in the midst of a decade long slow growth environment characterized by a productivity slowdown, slowing labor force growth and an aging population. What is the long-term growth outlook for major economies? Is there a glimmer of hope for renewed investment spending and productivity improvements? While the recent cyclical upswing offsets the near term risks to growth: How long can it last?
