摘要
Using a panel of manufacturing firms operating in 138 delegations across the Tunisian coast and observed over the 1998-2004 period, we study the impact of industrial structure on regional economic growth measured by total factor productivity. The results of an unbalanced panel data-based model indicate that the diversity of the industrial scene seems to be a local growth-promoting factor for high-tech sectors. Specialization often articulates the impact of diversity, while competition positively affects productivity.
