Market Services: Productivity Benchmarks for the UK
比较了1993年英国、美国、法国和德国市场服务业的劳动生产率，发现英国落后于其他三国，且差距大于制造业。
This paper presents comparisons of labour productivity (value added per hour worked) in market services for the UK, the US, France and Germany in 1993. Market services, defined as (1) Distribution, Hotels and Catering, (2) Transport and Communications and (3) Finance, Insurance and Real Estate, make up 34–43 percent of total employment in the four countries. For productivity in market services overall, the US led the UK by 35 percent in 1993, Germany led the UK by 34 percent and France led the UK by 36 percent. The UK productivity shortfall vis‐à‐vis Germany and France was wider in market services than in manufacturing.
