Agregar Etiqueta | Sumario: | Productivity is a notable factor for companies and countries. The same one determines the competitiveness of companies to remain active in the market. It is an essential element for economic growth, the development of wages, and the maintenance and improvement of the population's standard of living. Since productivity levels of small and medium-sized companies are overly low, the distinction between bigger or formal Ecuadorian companies is particularly huge within the same provinces. This study estimates the effect of contiguity on the companies' labor productivity at the provincial level, using spatial models during the period 2006 - 2021 for Ecuador. The study panel collects information from official sources such as the Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC), the Central Bank (BCE), and the Superintendency of Companies, Securities and Insurance (SUPERCIAS). The dependent variable is labor productivity, and the independent variables are the index of concentration of economic activities, employment registered by companies, and the number of companies present in each province. The results indicate that there is a significant effect of contiguity, which exposes that the productivity of a territory or province depends on nearby provinces' productivity. Similarly, higher concentration levels of economic activities generate negative spatial impacts within productivity. Finally, the generation of public policy will consist of controlling concentrated economic activities through fines for the practices of entry barriers to avoid anticompetitive behavior, but above all, to increase business competition. Additionally, the presence of other organizations such as universities, local and provincial governments will contribute to the provision of public goods and infrastructure specialized in the specific needs of economic sectors. |
