APEC and the Middle Income Trap
The Middle Income Trap has come to dominate headlines and policy discussions in the Asia-Pacific. Recent research suggests that growth past a certain threshold requires a qualitative ‘shift’ as economies transition from labourand capital-intensive growth to productivityand technology-driven growth. However, while more and more countries have attained middle income levels, very few have been a...
متن کاملChina’s Economic Growth: Evidence from Multiple-break Unit Root Tests
This paper performs multiple-break unit root tests on the data of China’s national and sectoral output and labour productivity, with finite-sample critical values bootstrapped through Monte Carlo simulations. We find strong evidence against the unit-root hypothesis in favour of the segmentedtrend-stationarity alternative. Based on breaking trend functions, the steady-state and transitional grow...
متن کاملGrowth Slowdowns and the Middle-Income Trap; by Shekhar Aiyar, Romain Duval, Damien Puy, Yiqun Wu, and Longmei Zhang; IMF Working Paper 13/71; March 1, 2013
The “middle-income trap” is the phenomenon of hitherto rapidly growing economies stagnating at middle-income levels and failing to graduate into the ranks of high-income countries. In this study we examine the middle-income trap as a special case of growth slowdowns, which are identified as large sudden and sustained deviations from the growth path predicted by a basic conditional convergence f...
متن کاملInflation Revisited: New Evidence from Modified Unit Root Tests
We propose a simple modification to the general-to-specific lag-length selection method typically employed in a standard augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test and apply it to examine the stationarity of OECD countries’ inflation rates. Instead of using the entire set of lags selected by the general-to-specific method, we suggest using only the lags that are statistically significant. Our Monte Car...
متن کاملWill China Avoid the Middle-Income Trap?
This paper employs a historical approach to address whether a country can avoid the middle-income trap. The development of the manufacturing sector and technological capacities are important for a country to avoid the middle-income trap. South Korea avoided the middleincome trap through developing the manufacturing sector. Argentina became a middle-income country by exporting agricultural goods...
