Is there evidence that using dynamic languages has an impact on productivity?

Problem
I am wondering if there are any experiments that show the existence or the non-existence of a correlation between usage of a dynamic language (such as Python, Ruby, or even languages that run on the Java platform such as Groovy, Clojure) over a static language (such as C/C++), and the difference in the productivity.
Solution
While I'm not aware of research on productivity, there's been research on comprehension. Philip Wadler has been collecting links to papers on this topic: see this post and this one.
