		The hypothesis that provinces with similar growth rates are more spatially clustered than by pure chance is tested.
		We find evidence of spatial dependence between neighboring provinces and solve it by including a spatial lag, alternatively a spatial error term, in the growth equation.

		The role of protectionism in regional specialization appears to have increased between 1992 and 1997, especially in the provinces that are the least opened to the international.
