This article used a CDM three-stage structural model based on data from the Spanish technological innovation panel to analyse the differential impact of technological innovation on labour productivity in the three largest Spanish regions and the Spanish economy as a whole. Although a considerable number of studies have used national data to analyse this relationship, very few studies have done so using microdata at the regional level. The results suggest that in Andalusia and Madrid increases in labour productivity were only associated with the increased probability of product innovation, whereas in Catalonia they were only associated with process innovation. These results suggest a lack of convergence in business strategies to improve labour productivity in these regions. Therefore, business investment in R&D and public institution funding decisions on support for technological innovation should be aimed at improving these less effective innovation strategies for increasing labour productivity.

本文基于西班牙技术创新小组提供的数据，使用了CDM三阶段结构模型来分析技术创新对西班牙三个最大地区和整个西班牙经济的劳动生产率的不同影响。尽管相当多的研究已经使用国家数据来分析这种关系，但很少有研究使用区域级别的微观数据来进行分析。结果表明，在安达卢西亚和马德里，劳动生产率的提高仅与产品创新的可能性增加有关，而在加泰罗尼亚，它们仅与工艺创新有关。这些结果表明，在提高这些地区劳动生产率的业务战略中缺乏收敛性。因此，企业在研发方面的投资
