Total Factor Productivity Drivers and Regional Heterogeneity Under New Economic Geography
Enhancement of total factor productivity is pivotal for achieving long-term economic growth.Systematically investigating the factors that enhance productivity is crucial for fostering the high-quality devel-opment of a nation's economy.By reviewing existing literature on productivity across different levels,both do-mestically and internationally,and employing spatial topological structure analysis to examine productivity dis-tribution from the enterprise to the regional level,this study identifies various hierarchical drivers and transmis-sion mechanisms influencing productivity.Economic agglomeration facilitates labor mobility,the concentration of highly skilled talent,and scale economies,thereby fostering innovation and driving productivity growth at both enterprise and regional levels.Within regions,factors such as the scale of agglomeration,market access,availability of production inputs,and positioning in the global value chain shape distinct patterns of agglomera-tion and exert heterogeneous effects on productivity.Beyond regional boundaries,both internal spillover effects within agglomerated areas and external spillover effects across regions also play a significant role in influencing productivity.In an era marked by significant shifts in the global regional structure and ongoing technological revolutions,it is imperative to explore the dynamic interplay between the evolution of spatial economic struc-tures and the development of high-quality productivity.
