摘要:The aim of this article is to analyse the productivity evolution of Spanish
manufacturing firms and to study some determinants of its growth during the
period from 1990 to 2002. We propose as explanatory factors the ones related to
organisational aspects and to the competitive environment of the enterprises,
and a special concern is given to the impact that firms’ technologic decisions
have on their results. Likewise those results permit to associate the
deceleration of firms’ productivity growth during the last years of the period
with two elements: on the one hand, the reduction of the proportion of firms
with investments in technological activities and, on the other hand, the
decrease of firms’ effectiveness to convert their investments into product and,
especially, process innovations.
