    Measuring the role of manufacturing in the productivity growth of the European economies (1993–2007)
    (Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, 2018) Fernández Sánchez, Rafael; Palazuelos Manso, Enrique
    This article focuses on the changes and dynamics followed by manufacturing production in order to quantify the share of manufacturing in the aggregate productivity growth of European economies, as well as the share of each industrial branch in the growth of manufacturing productivity. It proposes that the contribution of manufacturing to aggregate productivity remains high, but lower than that of the service sector, that within manufacturing the growth pattern of technology-intensive branches is more oriented towards productivity, and that the growth pattern of manufacturing will tend to be increasingly oriented towards productivity since demand growth is higher in the more technology-intensive branches.

    Unit Labour Costs in the Success of German Exports (1999-2007)
    (Revista de Economía Mundial, 2016) Garzón Espinosa, Eduardo; Fernández Sánchez, Rafael
    The German commercial success is often associated to the strategy of internal devaluation that entailed a moderate wage growth. However, the main argument in this paper is that necessarily there have to be other important and different factors that explain the outstanding trade performance, especially the evolution of productivity derived from different export specializations between commercial partners. Therefore, the German export performance is studied in relation to the evolution of the unit labour costs focusing on both unit wages and productivity dynamics sorted by manufacturing branches and particularly in comparison with the four largest economies in the Euro Zone: Spain, Italy, France and the Netherlands. The main conclusion of the study is that the favourable German export dynamic was positively related to the development of unit labour costs primarily through the productivity performance and not via the evolution of wages.
