Abstract
The machine tools industry has a leading role in the Italian manufacturing system.
This crucial industrial branch has an innovation intensity higher than that of many other
industrial branches. The paper investigates how the innovation and R&D undertaken by
these firms affect their productivity. We built a significant sample through a question-
naire based on the CIS (Community Innovation Survey). Also a regional geographic
dimension is used to test the presence of specific local effects. The results show a posi-
tive and strong contribution by human capital to productivity.
