The launch event for the OECD report Productivity and Jobs in a Globalised World: (How) Can All Regions Benefit? was hosted by the European Committee of the Regions and the European Commission’s Directorate‑General for Regional and Urban Policy. The official launch and press briefing took place in the morning, followed by an in‑depth presentation of the report in the afternoon. The World Bank discussed the report and presented findings from the World Bank report Rethinking Lagging Regions in the EU: evidence-based principles for future Cohesion Policy.

– Home to knowledge-intensive (traded) sectors
– Larger markets can support economic
diversity and dynamism
– Agglomeration economies (beyond borders)

21. • Strategically diversifying regional economies
– Specialised regions more productive, diversified ones grow faster
– Manufacturing important, but tradable services are gaining
• Identifying and building on local strengths
– Linking investment in skills, FDI, and knowledge from the
supply chain
– Taking advantage of opportunities for territorial branding
• Integration across actors and policies
– Skills development for place-based needs is a shared
responsibility
– But skills policies might not be enough: trade shocks vs
automation

employment growth

23. • The distinguishing feature of “tradable” sectors is that they are exposed to
international competition
• Delineating tradable and non-tradable sectors is not straightforward in practice
• As sectors are highly aggregated in regional data the aim is to find a
classification that captures mostly tradable/non-tradable activities
The OECD Regional Outlook 2016 classifies sectors as:
23
Classification of tradable sectors:
exposure to international competition
Tradable sectors Non-tradable sectors
A: agriculture, forestry and fishing F: construction
B-E: industry (manufacturing, mining and
quarrying, supply of utilities: electricity, gas
water, etc.) excluding construction
G-I: wholesale and retail trade, transport,
accommodation and food service activities
J: information and communication L: real estate activities*
K: financial and insurance activities M-N: professional, scientific and technical
activities, administrative and support service
activities
R-U: arts, entertainment and recreation, other
service activities, activities of household and
extra-territorial organisations and bodies
O-Q: public administration, defence, education,
human health and social work activities
* excluded in parts of the analysis
Notas do Editor
Based on this analysis with a focus on tradable sectors, policy recommendations include, among others: ensuring adequate skills provision and support for labour mobility to adjust to shocks; building on the network of cities across a country; avoiding disincentives for firms to engage in tradable sectors; promoting tradable activities and strategic diversification in related sectors through a range of policies, including clusters; increasing the mechanisms for innovation diffusion and improved management practices; and encouraging regions to compete based on region-specific advantages over tax competition.
