The Regional Heterogeneity of Productivity Determinants: Evidence from Ukrainian Firms
Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper studies the determinants of the total factor productivity (TFP) for Ukrainian firms in the manufacturing sector across macro-regions using recent micro-level datasets for 2013. Our empirical results show some degree of heterogeneity across Ukrainian macro-regions; in particular, the link between the total factor productivity, firm size, imports and the level of competition seems to be valid for all macro regions. However, the effects of private ownership status, capital intensity and exports seems to be region specific. In addition, we found no relationship between firm productivity and foreign ownership for any of the regions.
