• Resumen

  • The objective of this paper is to identify the determinants that hinder the continued growth of productivity in Spanish industry, when compared to Germany between 1993-2007. To this end, different methodologies based on the decomposition of gross value added have been applied. Results indicate that differences in industry structure do not totally justify the gap in productivity between both industries. It is more a problem of convergence speed of both production structures, rather than one of absence of changes. This study shows the need to implement strategic measures for boosting industrial sectors, particularly now when there is a resurgence of industrial policy.
