“…Given that there is no uniform distribution of economic activities across the territory, and given that productive activities generate different levels of Gross Value Added (GVA) and can be more or less labour-intensive, thus creating jobs and benefits from greater or lesser spatial concentration -the famous agglomeration economies first mentioned by Marshall (1985) and whose proven effects have been studied by numerous authors, academic works (Benko & Lipietz, 1992;Knoben et al, 2023;Morin & Védrine, 2022) and empirical evidence -the analysis of this issue of regional specialisation and location of productive activities is gaining importance in terms of economic and social sustainability.…”

Objective: The study of Portugal's productive profile, at the level of the NUT III regions and on an evolutionary basis, in order to obtain a picture of the country at two different times 20 years apart. We also sought to establish a relationship between these profiles and productivity. Theoretical Framework: Review of the literature on productive specialisation and development, as well as other empirical work already carried out. Method: Construction of location indicators for productive activities, regional specialisation and relational analysis with productivity indicators. The data used, namely GVA and Employment relating to 10 activity branches/25 NUT III, has been made available by STATISTICS PORTUGAL through request. Results and Discussion: The results show a profile of Portugal in which the primary sector predominates in the interior of northern Portugal and in Alentejo, the secondary sector in the north coast and in the centre, and the tertiary sector is strongly represented in Lisbon and Porto. This profile is associated with different productivities and in evolutive terms there are signs of some changes, but still not significant. Research Implications: The sustainability of regions depends, among others, on their productive profile. As a matter of fact it is the productive sector that generates income and employment, the key variables in the socioeconomic components of sustainability. The way in which economic activities are concentrated and in which agglomeration economies can be generated are factors that can influence this development. Originality/Value: Knowledge of the evolution of a country's productive profile and how activities with different productivities fit in could contribute to a more efficient policy of intelligent specialisation and guarantee a path to sustainable development.

Although a sizable body of research concerning innovation and intellectual property (IP) performance exists, there has been limited attention on whether the state of IP strengthens or curtails innovation activity in the global south, specifically among sub-Saharan Africa firms. This article analyzes the direct impacts of IP on innovation performance in sub-Saharan Africa, namely patents, copyrights, industrial designs, and trademarks. The paper responds to firms extracting value from intellectual property strategies through innovation activities and overall performance. Using the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) and Innovation Follow-up Survey (IFS), we find that appropriation channels are essential for transforming innovation pursuits into a competitive advantage. Our results further reinforce that appropriation mechanisms are crucial to innovation and may allow firms to gain returns on their innovation activities. Regardless of the weaknesses and limitations of the patenting strategy in sub-Saharan Africa, the probability of patenting an innovation relates to a process and product innovation while controlling for several other effects. More importantly, we demonstrate how industrial designs and improved or changed trademarks can foster inclusive performance. In addition, we show that beyond perception-based innovations, intellectual property strategies also matter to innovation intensity and sales growth. Consequently, our results indicate that the significance of innovation for competitiveness puts intellectual capital at the critical juncture of knowledge management.
