“…According to Polák [16], more than 70 articles in the last 20 years have investigated the contribution of ICT. For example, Edquist and Henrekson [17] examined the effect of ICT on the change in TFP in 50 industries in Sweden from 1993 to 2013. They concluded that ICT capital growth is not significantly associated with TFP growth.…”

By focusing on a distributed energy system that has been widely diffused for efficient utilization of renewable energy generation in recent years, this paper investigates the relationship between productivity growth and information and communications technology capital in the energy sector. Information and communications technology is a key factor in operating distributed energy systems in a way that balances energy supply and demand in order to minimize energy loss and to enhance capacity utilization. The objective of this study is to clarify the determining factors that affect productivity growth, focusing on three different information and communications technologies: information technology capital, communication technology capital and software capital. Our estimation sample covers energy sectors in 14 countries from 2000 to 2014. The results show that information technology and software capital contribute to increasing material productivity and capital productivity in the energy sector, respectively. Meanwhile, communication technology capital negatively affects these two productivity indicators.

“…Scholars point out that the industrial structure, technological R&D intensity, and land finance have a certain impact on the total factor productivity. In this paper, the three variables and two interactions between some controls and regulations are included in the model as control variables [35][36][37]. In order to reduce the volatility of the variable data, the data are processed by natural logarithms, and the following econometric models are obtained:…”

Based on the distinction of different types of environmental regulations, this paper attempts to test the threshold effect of environmental regulation on the total factor productivity (TFP) by employing a panel threshold model and a province-level panel data set during 2006–2016. Research results show that the influence of command-and-control and market incentive environmental regulation on the total factor productivity has a single threshold conversion characteristic of foreign direct investment (FDI) and financial scale, but the impact behavior and influence degree around the threshold are inconsistent. The effect of voluntary conscious environmental regulation on the total factor productivity has a single threshold conversion feature of human capital, and moderately enhanced intensity of environmental regulation is conducive to promoting the total factor productivity after crossing the threshold. Finally, in order to enhance the regional total factor productivity, relevant policy recommendations are proposed.

“…To envision the characteristics of the data, see the table below. To conduct the subsequent empirical part of this article, a longitudinal data study is assumed to be the most proper methodology (Edquist & Henrekson, 2017;Akcigit & Stantcheva, 2016;Deng & Wang, 2016;Tse et al, 2015;Najarzadeh et al, 2014;Mayda, 2009). It allows for studying Spanish export and import at the level of 90 countries.…”

The importance of trade and migration flows has become pivotal in times of frequent global crises. This paper analyzes how migration and other vital economic factors explain international trade. The methodology that is subject of our study consists of a panel data analysis of trade processes measured by export from Spain and import to Spain for 90 countries and covers the period 1998-2015 with respect to immigration and other economic variables. The results show that immigration influences international trade for both sending and receiving countries. On a more detailed level, an increase of the number of immigrants [in Spain] by one per cent results in a growth of Export [from that country] by 0.3 per cent and to a rise of Import [to that country] by 0.303 per cent, respectively. Similarly, the results confirm the measure of the "number of annual hours worked" as an excellent indicator to depict the role of employment in the most recent economic changes and developments [outlook]. We also find an indirect evidence that labour productivity is relevant for international trade what supports the existence of the "Say's Law" in terms of Immigration processes. Besides, our paper shows how labour-intensive countries' environment favors export [from Spain], and by contrast, capital-intensive countries' environment facilitates import [to Spain]. Finally, the results add empirical evidence showing how the lack of technological infrastructure plays the role of a non-tariff trade barrier, whereas the membership in an integrated economic area such as EU reduces trade costs, providing incentives for exporters and importers of any particular country.
