1Abstract
This study examines migration's impact on labor productivity in Russian regions (2004–2022), considering industry specialization. Using the Driscoll–Kraay method, it finds that immigration boosts productivity in neutral and manufacturing regions, but not in mining ones. Interregional migration enhances efficiency. Results highlight the need for tailored migration policies.
