Management of human resources in the green economy: Does green labour productivity matter in low-carbon development in China.

Environmentally friendly economic development has become a global concern, whereas the existing literature has ignored the human resources management in the green economy. This study utilizes the basic Cobb-Douglas production function and examines the nonlinear effect of labour productivity on the environment in China. Non-linear findings infer that a positive change in labour productivity has a positive and negative change in labour productivity, and has a negative effect on CO emissions in the short run, while results persisted and stable in the long run in China.
