First, it presents a 'grand view' in which it discusses the various components of productivity in detail, and then looks at long-term historical developments where changing economic structures are taken into account. Second, it presents results from an empirical analysis in which it considers both the 'extensive margin' of productivity (absenteeism at an individual level) and the 'intensive margin' of productivity (productivity conditional on being present at work at a group level or firm level).}, language = {en} } @incollection{IlmakunnasvanOursSkirbekketal., author = {Ilmakunnas, Pekka and van Ours, Jan and Skirbekk, Vegard and Weiss, Matthias}, title = {Setting the Stage}, series = {Ageing, health, and productivity : The economics of increased life expectancy}, booktitle = {Ageing, health, and productivity : The economics of increased life expectancy}, editor = {Garibaldi, Pietro}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.

It starts by reviewing the main approaches used to estimate productivity by age: supervisors' evaluations, measuring the quantity and quality produced, analyses of large-scale employer-employee datasets and studies of age-earnings structures. Thereafter, it discusses potential causes of job performance variation by age, and how changes in abilities and health by age and variations in the workplace requirements are likely to alter age-variation in productivity over time.}, language = {en} }
