Can we explain the low labour productivity gains since the crisis?

Productivity gains have become extremely low in OECD countries since the 2008-2009 crisis. We seek to determine whether this is explained by a decorrelation between productivity gains and their usual determinants: labour force skills, spending on corporate modernisation and on research & development. If that is the case, what happened prior to the crisis, a rise in productivity, would no longer happen today. We see that the determinants of productivity gains (labour force skills, spending on R&D) have remained the same. Productivity gains have been lower since the crisis, but they still have the same determinants.
