Paper Summary

Italian manufacturing firms experienced output growth from 1998 to 2003 due to both input accumulation and total factor productivity (TFP) growth. TFP growth was driven mainly by efficiency improvements, such as technological catch-up. Factors like R&D spillovers, banking efficiency, and public infrastructures significantly influenced technological catch-up.
