Transportability refers to the ability to use the same productivity rates (e.g. units of output per hour) in different locations, regardless of differences in wage rates. This enables a fair comparison of productivity levels between different regions or countries, and can help to identify areas where improvements could be made. By contrast, if productivity rates were tied to local wage rates, it would be more difficult to compare productivity levels across regions, as differences in wages would confound the results.
