Note(s):
Authors' calculation from T2-LEAP file. The results are based on the decomposition method by Baldwin and Gu. The weighted average across industries is calculated using average industry employment shares. The weighted sum of labour productivity growth across industries may differ from labour productivity growth in the total retailing sector. The difference can be attributed to the effect of employment shifts across industries.
