New Research: Fewer New Firms and Lower Mobility – Warning Signs for the Swedish Economy
Productivity growth in the Swedish economy has slowed since the early 2000s. Fewer new firms are being started, fewer low‑productivity firms are exiting the market, and fewer employees are changing jobs. The most productive firms are often small relative to their potential, indicating that they face growth barriers. This is shown by Horng Chern Wong and Anders Åkerman in a new SNS report.
