The authors correct for non-random sample selection and the potential endogeneity of the age-composition in work teams. The results suggest that productivity in this plant which is typical for large-scale manufacturing does not decline at least up to age 60. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.

The first study analyses data on productivity at the level of work teams in one single plant. The tasks in this plant are rather homogeneous and age-productivity profiles can be estimated fairly precisely. But the results cannot be generalized to other parts of the economy. The other study analyses the Finnish Linked Employer Employee Data (FLEED), which provide information on productivity at the plant level for the Finnish economy. At this aggregate level, age-productivity profiles are obviously cruder. On the other hand, the results apply to a large part of the entire Finnish economy and can easily be generalized to other developed economies. The linked data also make it possible to compare productivity and wage profiles by age.

One is a unique data set of workers in a German truck assembly plant where the chapter identifies workers who work together in a team on a daily basis. Thus, the chapter is able to relate the probability of absence of a worker to characteristics of the work team. Characteristics of the work team in this study include team size, and measures of diversity with respect to age, nationality, education, and age. The second data set is a Finnish survey based on a representative sample of persons in paid employment. Besides working conditions, personal characteristics, and work experience, it includes information on the number and duration absences.

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).

The results provide clear evidence that employees' own assessment of their working capacity falls with age while there is no corresponding decline in wages by age. However, the fall in working capacity is not dramatic, as the majority of the older age groups still consider their working capacity to be relatively high in a scale from 0 to 10. Age affects working capacity, as least to the extent that the employees themselves think so.

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.

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.

If this impression were true, population ageing would have negative effects on overall productivity as the share of older workers is increasing and would thus directly reduce economic growth. A lack of economic growth would amplify the economic strains on ageing societies already exerted by increasing pension, healthcare, and long-term care expenditures. This chapter discusses many methodological challenges that have plagued the measurement of the link between age and productivity. It reviews micro- and macroeconomic studies and juxtaposes them with the literature on the relationship between population ageing and aggregate productivity. The methodologically most convincing studies on individual productivity in standard jobs find an initial increase in productivity, probably a learning effect, but then productivity remains flat until retirement. These micro-level studies measure productivity in a given technological environment and therefore ignore the contribution to productivity from improving this environment. This is where macro studies come into play, which suggest a negative influence of population ageing on total factor productivity. While the microeconomic and the macroeconomic evidence appear to contradict each other, they do not because they measure different relationships that are not linked through simple aggregation. This result has important implications for methodology and public policy.
