Abstract

Economic research – Since the early 1970s, productivity growth has slowed down in most advanced economies, in particular in the United States. In this country, this slowdown has been accompanied by an increase in the market power of firms and a decrease in the share of labour in national income. A large swathe of macroeconomic literature has attempted in recent years to identify and explain these facts. This article focuses on a technological explanation, in the context of the digital revolution. Depuis le début des années 1970, la croissance de la productivité s’est ralentie dans la plupart des économies avancées, en particulier aux États Unis. Dans ce pays, ce ralentissement s’accompagne d’une augmentation du pouvoir de marché des entreprises et d’une diminution de la part du travail dans le revenu national. La littérature macroéconomique a été particulièrement active ces dernières années pour tenter d’identifier ces faits et pour les expliquer. Cet article s’intéresse en particulier à une explication technologique, en lien avec la révolution numérique.
