    Are national borders an impediment to online collaboration in the knowledge economy? Unlike in goods trade, knowledge workers can collaborate fully virtually, such that border effects might be eliminated. Here we study collaboration patterns of some 144,000 European developers on the largest online code repository platform, GitHub. To assess the presence of border effects we deploy a gravity model that explains developers' inter-regional collaboration networks. We find a sizable border effect of -16.4%, which is, however, five to six times smaller than in trade. The border effect is entirely explained by cultural factors such as common language, shared interests, and historical ties. The international border effect in Europe is much larger than the state border effect in the US, where cross-border cultural differences are much less pronounced, further strengthening our conjecture that culture is a main driver of the border effect in virtual collaboration.

    Research spanning various disciplines underscores the significance of cultural diversity in facilitating cross-pollination of ideas, while diminishing social cohesiveness. Yet, the exploration of the impact of an equally intriguing dimension of diversity has remained uncharted: has the coalescence of diverse ancestral background in the formation of individuals' mindset shaped their productivity? Has a diverse mindset been central for individual's prosperity? This research advances the hypothesis that an intermediate level of diverse ancestral origins strikes a balance between the conflicting effects of cultural proximity and distinctiveness, creating an individual mindset that is conducive for productivity. While a limited cultural diversity among an individual's ancestors may reduce the scope for ancestral cross-pollination, and may diminish the individual's creativity, and adaptability, an extensive ancestral cultural divide could potentially hinder individual's coherence, human capital formation, and productivity. Leveraging the rich web of ancestries of the modern US population, we provide supporting evidence for the hypothesis and the underlying mechanism, establishing that there exists a hump-shaped relationship between intrapersonal diversity and earned income, mediated by the acquisition of human capital, in the form of educational attainment, originality, and ow of ideas.
