4th Scientific Workshop on Productivity: Call for Papers Launched

The German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) organizes the fourth Scientific Workshop on Productivity jointly with the German Council of Economic Experts (SVR Wirtschaft) in its role as the German National Productivity Board and the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne (EWI). The event, which will take place on 24 and 25 August 2026 at DIW Berlin, serves as a platform to foster academic collaboration. We are very happy to welcome Daniel Yi Xu, David Rubenstein Distinguished Professor of Economics at the Duke University, as our keynote speaker.

The workshop offers researchers the opportunity to present and discuss their recent contributions to the understanding of productivity developments and drivers.

We kindly ask researchers to submit their full paper or at least an extended abstract

by 10 May 2026 via e-mail to produktivitaetsdialog@svr-wirtschaft.de.

Decisions will be announced in early July.
