Declining construction productivity in housing is an overlooked issue. When you think of other sectors, from manufacturing to resource extraction, and agriculture, production processes have changed drastically over the past 50 years. Housing, however, is done in much the same way as it was midcentury. Part of the reason lies in the low firm concentration in the industry, reflective of inconsistent policies across municipalities and provinces that increase compliance costs and make economies of scale a challenge to pursue. Based on a recent paper for @MLInstitute, @regionomics and I put forward ideas to make housing construction more productive. 👇
