Bringing Trentino's productivity growth back on track
A comparison with OECD "peer" regions
The Autonomous Province of Trento (Trentino) is among the most productive regions
in Europe, but over the past two decades its productivity growth has stagnated. As
a result, the productivity gap of Trentino widened by over 20% compared to regions
with the same productivity level in 2000. The benchmarking of productivity drivers
in Trentino with those of “peer” regions points to several policy priorities, including:
reviving productivity in tradeable sectors, also through increased internationalisation;
increasing the share of the labour force with a tertiary education; and getting more
out of public R&D while boosting private sector R&D.
