Abstract

This article investigates the relationship between Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of a company, its capabilities, the agglomeration and sectoral concentration, contributing to the discussion of Sectoral Innovation Systems. Given the close relationship between the sectors and their spatial location, as well as the Schumpeterian hypothesis of greater innovativeness of large companies (market focused), a multilevel regression model considers the relationship of the TFP of a company according to its capabilities on the first level and the sectorial variables on the second level. The estimated effects show that the agglomeration and concentration together with the internal capabilities of a company explain productivity differences between companies. The results also show that some sectors are more sensitive to sectorial agglomeration and concentration on the company’s productivity and innovation dynamics. However, the results do not align with the taxonomy of Pavitt (1984) and Dosi, Pavitt and Soete (1990).
