Summary:This working paper offers a synthesis of the current knowledge on the determinants of productivity. It carefully reviews both "spatial" (e.g. agglomerations, infrastructure, geography) and "aspatial" (e.g. human capital, labour regulations, industry-level innovation and dynamism) productivity drivers and demonstrates how the underlying spatial dynamics behind the latter group makes all productivity determinants "spatial" in nature.
