“…The pandemic's effect on within-firm labor productivity is negative, with a loss of 5% in the UK alone in the Q2 of 2020. The total factor productivity is expected to fall through 2020 before recovering in 2021 (Nicholas et al, 2021), which will be the trend across the world (Dieppe, 2021). Pandemic or not, the benefits of WFH for organizations and governments are manifold.…”

Covid-19, a once-in-a-century pandemic, has caused a great deal of anxiety worldwide. In addition to the apparent virus-induced morbidity and mortality, pandemicinduced stress has contributed to the lack of human wellbeing during Covid-19. Most efforts have gone into understanding the physical effects and less on the pandemic's mental effects. The new normal of social distancing and work-from-home (WFH), requiring disconcerting home confinement levels, has been a prime cause of stress.The pandemic-induced stress encompasses infection-related suffering, economic and professional loss, social isolation caused by lockdowns, information-induced anxiety, need to integrate work and life-from earlier balancing them, and stress-induced by sudden changes in the routine. The study's primary objective is to develop and validate a scale to measure lockdown and WFH-induced stress among professionals in employment. The result indicates three significant stressors: job stress, social stress, and routine stress affecting professionals due to lockdown and WFH. The study results would help employers, and healthcare professionals measure the lockdown and WFH-induced stress among working professionals, which is a prerequisite for managing the same through appropriate interventions.

“…These authors estimate that this could translate into a lower long-term level of output, through productivity losses, in nations where education closures were most stringent. This could compound the problems observed in the developing world in terms of global universal skills as well as increasing schooling gaps with respect to advanced economies (Gust, Hanushek and Woessmann 2022;Dieppe 2021).…”

This Chapter provides an overview of the current state of productivity growth across regions of the world. It showcases the generalized nature of the global productivity slowdown and the close relationship between productivity and various social justice indicators. It explores some of the drivers behind the observed stagnation, including labour market factors. Finally, a number of policy messages stemming from the analyses presented are provided.

“…The productivity of some European Union (EU) countries in the 1990s was faster than that of the United States of America (USA) (Timmer et al, 2010; Van Ark et al, 2008). However, the situation reversed during the post‐GFC period showing a decline in productivity, which slowed the pace of catching up with productivity levels in advanced economies (Dieppe, 2021). This slowing trend was largely attributed to the slowdown in total factor productivity (TFP) (Inklaar et al, 2020).…”

“…To address this issue, this article captures the case of 78 French private companies over the period from 2005 to 2019. This choice is justified by recent research showing the sustained slowdown of TFP in France (Dieppe, 2021). Moreover, because of its geographical position and significant economic influence, France can be regarded as a representative European economy in this context of slowing TFP.…”

This article aims to find an explanation for the slowdown in the total factor productivity (TFP) of private firms on the one hand, and on the other hand, to show the need for state intervention through government policies whose impacts on TFP were verified in the literature. In this paper, we examined the relationship between different government policies and TFP growth for 78 French firms covering the period 2005 to 2019. Firstly, this study showed that TFP varies considerably over time, suggesting that microeconomic factors may have an important impact on firms' TFP. Secondly, some of the government policies were favorable to TFP growth while others were rather hindering. Indeed, the positive impact of both public infrastructure spending and public subsidies to French firms shows that an expansionary fiscal policy would allow a recovery in TFP. On the other hand, taxes on imported products, the exchange rate and cost‐competitiveness ratio, with a negative impact, show that the competitiveness policies adopted are unfavorable to the resumption of TFP growth. Thirdly, it should be noted that operating, investment and R&D subsidies were channels for the effectiveness of French government policies. Finally, by taking into account a set of macroeconomic indicators, the study confirmed the positive impact of a favorable macroeconomic environment on the recovery of TFP.
