Description:

Productivity is the key to economic growth and living standards. But has the productivity puzzle been solved yet? Have we been asking the right questions? And what’s next? After five years of research at The Productivity Institute, we’re kicking off season 4 of the podcast with reflections from our recent international research conference on productivity, held at the University of Manchester on the 4-5 September 2025. Five big themes. And still, big questions ahead.


Host Professor Bart van Ark is joined by:


  • Josh Martin, Economic Advisor at the Bank of England and Research Associate with the Economic Statistics Centre of Excellence.
  • Mary O’Mahony, TPI Research Director and Professor of Applied Economics at King’s Business School.
  • Catherine Mann, External member of the Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England and Honorary Professor at Alliance Manchester Business School and The Productivity Institute.
  • Chander Velu, Professor of Innovation and Economics at The University of Cambridge.
  • Kate Penney, Research Fellow at The Productivity Institute.
