Abstract

Using a spatial production model with technological spillovers and GVC linkages from inter-country input-output tables, this article estimates TFP growth and its spillovers across 10 EU member states and the U.S. (EU KLEMS 2017, 31 ISIC industries). Spillover effects from intermediate inputs are significant. About 27 per cent of the productivity spillover embodied in intermediate inputs transmits across borders. Germany offers the most network effects within Europe, followed by the Netherlands, Czech Republic, and Sweden.
