Regional Informatization and Labour Productivity: A Positive Analysis

Abstract

This paper conducts a positive analysis to explore the relationship between regional informatization and labor productivity. Using econometric methods and regional data, the study examines the impact of informatization, including factors such as broadband penetration, digital infrastructure development, and information technology adoption, on labor productivity across different regions. By analyzing the causal relationship between regional informatization and labor productivity, the research aims to provide empirical evidence on the potential positive effects of informatization initiatives on enhancing productivity levels in various economic sectors. Additionally, the study investigates potential moderating factors, such as industry characteristics, workforce skills, and regional economic conditions, that may influence the strength and direction of the relationship between regional informatization and labor productivity. The findings contribute to informing policymakers and stakeholders about the importance of investing in informatization infrastructure and policies to foster productivity growth at the regional level.
