Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study

Journal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 1531-1571, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.

Environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow prices for dairy farms

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 99-123, June 2026.
Abstract We estimate the environmentally adjusted productivity growth and shadow price for Ontario dairy farms. We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.
