The aim of this paper is to analyse the role played by knowledge spillovers in the firm productivity of two European countries, namely France and Italy. A quantile regression approach has been used to investigate the spillovers-productivity nexus across countries and quantiles. Moreover, in order to distinguish between the different sources of knowledge spillovers, a distinction is made between R&D spillovers from firms in the same sector and geographical region, same sector but different regions and the same geographical area but different sectors. Results suggest heterogeneity across countries and quantiles.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyse the role played by knowledge spillovers in the firm productivity of two European countries, namely France and Italy. A quantile regression approach has been used to investigate the spillovers-productivity nexus across countries and quantiles. Moreover, in order to distinguish between the different sources of knowledge spillovers, a distinction is made between R&D spillovers from firms in the same sector and geographical region, same sector but different regions and the same geographical area but different sectors. Results suggest heterogeneity across countries and quantiles.File in questo prodotto:
