【摘要】This paper evaluates the impact of accessibility on the productivity of Spanish manu-facturing firms. We suggest the use of accessibility indicators of workers and commodities, integrating transport, land use, and individual components, computing real distances or traveling times usingthe Spanish full road network. Estimated firms’ total factor productivity is explained as a function ofthe accessibility indicators and additional control variables. Results evidence the crucial role on firms’productivity to the accessibility of commodities and to a slightly lesser extent the workers.
