This paper explores the regional dimensions of the productivity gap between the USA and the EU. It uses the OECD regional Database and a taxonomy in five regional types, which allows to capture the exposure to agglomeration. The regional structures and growth regimes in the US and the EU appear rather different. The decomposition of aggregate productivity growth by TL3 region in the US is dominated by regions with large cities, whereas in Europe, the regional system is more distributed. The productivity problem in Europe seems to be due both to a lack of agglomeration and weak productivity catching-up (or a «twin problem»).
