Deskripsi
Using a sample of 170 economies and 60,000 firms, the paper explores how policy choices of regional cooperation contribute to labor productivity and firms’ innovation. Results suggest that economies’ participation in regional value chains, and connectivity in infrastructure and technology can be drivers of labor productivity and innovation. Strengthening institutional choices and participation in regional initiatives can catalyze the benefits from regional integration.
