The economics of diversity: Innovation, productivity and the labour market
系统梳理了多样性对创新、生产率和劳动力市场影响的实证证据，提出一个以空间尺度为参考的分析框架，发现按区域、企业和个人层面分别考察时，多样性效应更一致，并为未来研究和政策制定提供了方向。
Abstract 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.
