Wages and productivity in Argentinian manufacturing : a structuralist and distributional firm-level analysis
Gómez, María Celeste; Virgillito, Maria Enrica - 2022
Wages and productivity represent two of the most relevant variables to consider in economic development. Given the low … translate into higher wages. Thus, we pose the following questions applied to a middle-income trapped country: is there a link … between labour productivity and wages in the Argentine manufacturing sector? Does it differ across techno-productive classes …

Automation and labor market polarization in an evolutionary model with heterogeneous workers
Bordot, Florent; Lorentz, André - 2021
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the mechanisms underlying the relationship between automation and labor market polarization. To do so, we build an agent-based model (ABM) in which workers, heterogeneous in nature and level of skills, interact endogenously on a decentralized labor...

How provincial is your region? : Effects on labour productivity in Europe
Gambardella, Alfonso (contributor);  … - 2003 - [Elektronische Ressource]
This paper estimates the determinants of labour productivity in European NUTS regions during 1989-1996. Unlike previous studies, which have focussed either on local technological capabilities or on agglomeration economies, we compare three potential explanations of regional advantages:...

Skill gap, mismatch, and the dynamics of Italian companies' productivity
Fanti, Lucrezia; Guarascio, Dario; Tubiana, Matteo - 2019
Relying on a unique integrated database, this work explores the relationship between labour productivity, on one side; intensity and characteristics of companies' skills need and degree of skill mismatch, on the other. The analysis focuses on a representative sample of Italian limited liability...

Repeated choices under dynamics externalities
Bottazzi, Giulio; Secchi, Angelo - 2011
We consider an economy in which a heterogeneous population of agents have to choose among a common set of alternatives. The utilities associated to the different alternatives posses a common component and an individual component, which reflect differences in the underlying structure of agents...

Sectoral and geographical specifities in the spatial structure of economic activities
Bottazzi, Giulio; Dosi, Giovanni; Fagiolo, Giorgio; … - 2007
This work explores the spatial distribution of productive activities in the Italian manufacturing industry. We propose an econometric model which tries to disentangle locationspecific from sectoral drivers in the dynamic process of spatial agglomeration. The basic idea is that the former...

Coping with increasing tides: technological change, agglomeration dynamics and climate hazards in an agent-based evolutionary model
Taberna, Alessandro; Filatova, Tatiana; Roventini, Andrea; … - 2021
By 2050 about 70% of the world's population is expected to live in cities. Cities offer spatial economic advantages that boost agglomeration forces and innovation, fostering further concentration of economic activities. For historic reasons urban clustering occurs along coasts and rivers, which...
