Growth Differences

Industry-level productivity analysis can be a useful diagnostic tool to better understand why some countries show faster overall productivity growth and to direct research attention to parts of the economy that warrant more detailed scrutiny. This chapter illustrates these strengths in three applications, namely the Europe-US productivity growth gap since the mid-1990s, the sectoral sources of rapid convergence of productivity levels between advanced and emerging economies, and an analysis of the determinants of productivity growth and convergence. One conclusion is that a better understanding of productivity growth (or lack thereof) in services industries should still be an important goal of researchers aiming to understand cross-country growth differences.

Since joining the European Union in 1986, the performance of the Spanish economy has been quite remarkable, acting as a good example for new entrants of what can be accomplished in twenty years. Its ability to generate employment has been astonishing. Departing from an environment of very high unemployment (close to 25 per cent), Spain has become the country of destination most preferred by immigrants. However, it has also had a scant productivity performance. The main burden on productivity growth lies with the construction sector and almost all private service sectors with the unique exception of the financial sector. Most likely, over the next years, the continuity of the Spanish success will require a reversal of the sources of growth, shifting from labour creation to improvements in multifactor productivity.
