In this paper we compare the magnitude of local productivity advantages associated to two different spatial … findings. We detect local productivity advantages for both UA and ID. However, firms located in UA attain a larger Total Factor … Productivity (TFP) premium than those operating within ID. Besides, it turns out that the advantages of ID have declined over time …

The analysis shows a clear and strong selection of more productive new establishments into larger regions, regardless … distinct depending on the foundation type.
