Does population aging harm economic growth? We exploit process-generated data from a large and typical service-sector company. We find no decline in average productivity in the age range of 20–60. This result is precisely measured. Our innovative identification strategy corrects for sample selection, endogeneity of age composition and age-cohort confounding. Our big data are essential to extract the signal from the noise that has marred many previous studies. While average productivity stays flat, we find variation according to task complexity. Productivity increases with age in teams with more demanding tasks and decreases in routine tasks.

Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Literatur und diskutiert die Notwendigkeit einer neuen Sicht der Produktivitätsmessung. Bisherige Studien beschäftigen sich mit der Messung der individuellen Produktivität. In einer modernen arbeitsteiligen Gesellschaft realisiert sich die Arbeitsproduktivität allerdings weniger in der Einzelperson als vielmehr im Zusammenwirken von jüngeren (innovativen, flexiblen?) und älteren (erfahrenen?) Mitarbeitern.
