Firm productivity dynamics in Spain

Paloma Lopez-Garcia (), Sergio Puente and Angel Luis Gómez

No 739, Working Papers from Banco de España

Abstract: We have constructed a new database aimed at the study of the relation between firm demography and labour productivity, with a large number of Spanish firms from both industry and service sectors. This database allows us to analyze in detail the degree of dispersion and persistence of productivity levels, as well as the contribution of firm demography to productivity growth. This analysis has been done at different levels of sector aggregation. We have also studied explicitly the differential role of small and large firms.
