Productivity Research Notes
Productivity Research Notes (PRN) is a series of concise analytical briefs, each designed as a self-contained analysis typically presented in a two-page format, produced by the Keio Economic Observatory (KEO), Keio University, Tokyo, focusing on productivity and economic performance in Asia. It highlights key measurement issues, empirical findings, and policy-relevant insights, and serves as a platform to communicate selected results from the APO Productivity Databook/Database and related research activities at KEO, including APDB, AQALI, ANRD, ECM, and related analytical resources.
