“…After relevant empirical studies on central and eastern European countries and BRICS, Misbah et al [44] proposed that human capital played a crucial role in promoting TFP improvement. Regarding the immigration policies and realities in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, Fassio et al [45] hold that immigration would boost total factor productivity effectively, especially the transfer of highly educated human capital, which could drive regional development through knowledge sharing. Aiming at the deficiency of research on human capital and GTFP, Zhang and Hu [46] made an empirical analysis of innovative human capital and GTFP in the Yangtze River Delta region of China.…”

Green total factor productivity is not merely an inevitable choice to continuously increase the quality of China's economy, but also a booming demand to promote global development. With the fast development of the new generation information technology represented by world comprehensive web technology, Internet growth may well play a more crucial role in enhancing green total factor productivity in China. Based on 2009-2017 China's inter-provincial panel data, this article uses the threshold regression model and fixed-effect model to empirically investigate the influence intensity and internal mechanism of green total factor productivity in areas affected by the Internet development. We ultimately come to the following conclusions. First, there is a digital divide between the regions of China. Second, many factors such as Internet development, human capital, urbanization, energy efficiency, and external dependence all exert a positive influence on China's green total factor productivity. At the same time, government intervention is not conducive to green total factor productivity. Third, the influence of Internet growth on China's green total factor productivity is non-linear, based on the significant double threshold effect of human capital. As the level of human capital continues to exceed the threshold value, the effect of Internet expansion on the green total factor productivity of China has undergone a structural change. The result has changed from a weak negative influence to a positive one, and the significance is increasing. To advance the smart, green, and coordinated development among regions, it is necessary to bring "Internet +" into full play in promoting China's green total factor productivity, strengthen the deep integration of Internet development and industrial development, and improve the level of clean production utilizing network information.

The focus of the current study is to examine the enormous effects of religious freedom and foreign direct investment on economic growth for Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. These effects are captured by investigating classical production functions where religious freedom and foreign direct investment are the major determinants of economic growth. To determine the significance of these determinants, the study examines the panel data from 1990-2016 gleaned from the World Development Indicator (WDI) and International Country Risk Guide (ICRG). The result of the Hausman test reveals the problem of endogeneity; thus, the model was empirically estimated by employing the 2SLS, and the robustness of the results was also confirmed by using the 3SLS methodology. The empirical result revealed that an increase in religious freedom surges economic activity and enhances growth. The coefficient of foreign direct investment indicates that a rise in foreign direct investment is beneficial for growth in the selected economies. These results confirm that economies with religious freedom attract foreign direct investment, boost their economic activity, and consequently, economic growth. Hence, the government should adopt those policies that promote religious freedom and enhance foreign direct investment to achieve sustained economic growth.

“…However, a handful of recent studies do examine the productivity impacts of workforce or sector-level diversity, which are now discussed. Fassio et al (2019b), in their sector-level panel-data analyses of France, Germany and the United Kingdom examine the link between diversity and total factor productivity over the period 1994−2007. They use the EU KLEMS Growth and Productivity Accounts database for TFP measures and aggregate individual-level micro-data from Labour Force Surveys for France and the UK; and from the Micro-Census for Germany to sector level.…”

The empirical evidence on the economic impacts of diversity is mixed. Many studies in the literature present context-dependent and data-driven results which are challenging to reconcile with each other. This paper offers a systematic synthesis of the empirical findings on the economic impacts of diversity on innovation, productivity and the labour market. It presents a structured framework which takes the spatial scale of the analysis in the papers as a reference to understand the inconsistency of some previous predictions and the varying magnitudes of the diversity impact. The empirical findings reconcile more meaningfully when diversity effects are documented discretely at the regional, firm and individual levels. The paper further sets out an agenda for future research and links the findings for policy relevance.
