Abstract

Vieira E., Neira I. and Vázquez E. Productivity and innovation economy: comparative analysis of European NUTS-2, 1995--2004, Regional Studies . Innovation is the guarantee of perpetuation and improvement of productive cycles, as well as the improvement of the work of human resources. This paper emphasizes the importance of the input of innovation in the production process as a way to maximize the capacity and efficiency of the labour factor, translated by its productivity. It describes empirically some of the factors that determine the existence of good levels of labour productivity, highlighting the relationship between innovation and productivity with the clear objective of emphasizing the importance of technological progress in the development of the NUTS-2 (Nomenclature des Unit�s Territoriales Statistiques) regions in twenty-seven countries of the European Union. Vieira E., Neira I. et Vázquez E. L'�conomie de la productivit� et de l'innovation: une analyse comparative des r�gions europ�ennes NUTS-2, de 1995 à 2004, Regional Studies . L'innovation assure la continuit� et l'am�lioration des cycles de productivit�, ainsi que l'am�lioration du travail des ressources humaines. Cet article souligne l'importance de l'innovation dans le processus de production comme moyen de maximiser la capacit� et l'efficacit� du travail, traduites par sa productivit�. On pr�sente de façon empirique quelques-uns des facteurs qui d�terminent l'existence de bons niveaux de productivit�, soulignant le rapport entre l'innovation et la productivit� dans le but très clair de mettre l'accent sur l'importance du progrès technologique dans le d�veloppement des r�gions NUTS-2 (Nomenclature des Unit�s Territoriales Statistiques) dans vingt-sept pays de l'Union europ�enne.

Innovation ist eine Garantie für die Beibehaltung und Verbesserung von Produktionszyklen sowie für die Verbesserung der Arbeit der Personalressourcen. In diesem Beitrag betonen wir die Bedeutung des Inputs von Innovation im Produktionsverfahren als Methode zur Maximierung der als Produktivität übersetzten Kapazität und Effizienz des Arbeitskräftefaktors. Wir beschreiben auf empirische Weise einige der Faktoren, die für die Existenz eines angemessenen Niveaus von Arbeitskraftproduktivität ausschlaggebend sind, und verdeutlichen die Beziehung zwischen Innovation und Produktivität mit dem klaren Ziel einer Betonung der Bedeutung des technischen Fortschritts für die Entwicklung der NUTS-2-Regionen (Nomenclature des Unit�s Territoriales Statistiques) in 27 Ländern der Europäischen Union.
