Resumen

The report studies whether belonging to a cluster association has a positive effect on the competitiveness and productivity of an affiliated firm. A non-parametric model DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) is applied to the firms that form part of the sectors grouped into the six cluster association in the Basque Country (AFM, ACE, GAIA, FMV, HEGAN and the Paper Cluster). Using SABI data from 2011, a double analysis is carried out: inter-firm, whose objective is to verify if the firms affiliated to one cluster association achieve better efficiency results than those not affiliated; intra-firm, whose objective is to analyse whether belonging to a cluster association influences in a different way the behaviour of firms, depending on their level of sectorial identity within the cluster. The report shows that the firms affiliated to the six cluster associations under analysis achieve better results and higher efficiency levels than those that are not affiliated. They also enjoy a series of operative advantages in management that could be considered as intangible assets which have an effect on efficiency levels.
