摘要

本研究探讨了社会资本、政府质量、文化维度和宗教等无形因素如何影响一个地区的劳动生产率，这些因素在以前的文献中没有得到太多的关注。另一个新颖之处是分析了区域层面的数据(22个欧洲国家的78个地区)。为了考虑生产率各要素之间的关系，采用结构方程建模方法，既能找出直接影响，又能找出间接影响。结果显示，制度信任和公民参与对生产力最重要。个人主义似乎对劳动生产率有积极影响，而男性气质和权力距离对劳动生产率有消极影响。

Intangible factors and productivity: Evidence from Europe at the regional level

This study investigates how a region’s labour productivity could be influenced by intangible factors such as social capital, government quality, cultural dimensions andreligion – factors that have not received much attention in the previous literature. As another novelty, regional-level data (78 regions of 22 European countries) were analysed. In order to take into account the relationships between various factors of productivity, the structural equation modelling approach is used enabling to find out both direct and indirect effects. The results showed institutional trust and civic participation to be the most important for productivity. Individualism appeared to have a positive and masculinity and power distance a negative total effect on labourproductivity.
