Industrial Productivity Convergence in China
This paper examines the convergence process of industrial productivity between Chinese regions. Both σ and β convergences are investigated using a panel data set of 30 provinces and autonomous regions over the period 1985-1999. Unconditional σ and β convergence methods fail to detect productivity convergence over the whole sample period, although they suggest convergence during a sub-period 198...
متن کاملIdeas Determining Convergence Clubs Ideas Determining Convergence Clubs Ideas Determining Convergence Clubs
This paper develops a model of cross-country growth and distribution dynamics where sharing ideas is important. The model shows clusters of economies emerging from deliberate choices made in equilibrium. It characterizes how, over time, the cross-section distribution of countries stratifies into distinct income classes.
متن کاملMixture Models and Convergence Clubs
In this paper we argue that modelling the cross-country distribution of per capita income as a mixture distribution provides a natural framework for the detection of convergence clubs. The framework yields tests for the number of component distributions that are likely to have more power than “bump hunting” tests and includes a natural method of assessing the cross-component immobility necessar...
متن کاملTests for Convergence Clubs
In many applications common in testing for convergence the number of cross-sectional units is large and the number of time periods are few. In these situations tests which are founded upon an omnibus null hypothesis are characterised by a number of problems. In this paper we consider a broad class of tests of convergence based on multivariate time series and panel data methodologies, and track ...
متن کاملConvergence Clubs of State-Level Agricultural Productivity in the USA by
The objective of the present study is to investigate empirically the existence of convergence clubs in state-level agricultural productivity of the USA. This is pursued using Total Factor Productivity (TFP) data from 48 contiguous states over the period 1960-99 and time series methods which endogenously allocate states to clubs on the basis of the long-run behavior of the respective productivit...
