Internal migration and interregional convergence in Russia1
In this paper, we study panel data on region-to-region gross migration flows in Russia for 19952010. We find that barriers to labor mobility that hindered internal migration in 1990s, have been generally eliminated by the end of 2000s. In 1990s many poor Russian regions were in a poverty trap: potential workers wanted to leave those regions but could not afford to finance the move. In 2000s (es...
متن کاملInterregional Stabilisation and Redistribution by the Federal Unemployment Insurance
The insurance function of federal budgets against regional asymmetric income shocksin scal federations is well known in the literature. Empirical studies provide estimates of the amount of stabilisation between the regions. Especially automatic stabilisers, like the unemployment insurance, show a large reaction to regional imbalances. The goal of this paper is to estimate the amount of redistri...
متن کاملInterregional Redistribution and Budget Institutions under Asymmetric Information
Empirical evidence from the U.S. and the European Union suggests that regions which contribute to interregional redistribution face weaker borrowing constraints than regions which benefit from interregional redistribution. This paper presents an argument in favor of such differentiated budgetary institutions. It develops a two-period model of a federation consisting of two types of regions. The...
متن کاملInterregional Disparity and Convergence Tendency: An Empirical Study of TFP Growth in China
This paper presents an empirical analysis to improve our understanding of the catch-up and convergence tendencies of total factor productivity (TFP) growth across the Chinese provinces over 2003–2012. After controlling for the province heterogeneity, our regression results show that the Chinese provinces exhibit significant conditional convergence in TFP growth over the sample period. This indi...

This paper provides a critical review of the recent literature on inequality and growth. After discussing historical and more recent distributional trends as well as empirical evidence on the relationship between inequality and growth, I focus on recent explanations of the inequality-growth puzzle. I consider both the impact of the functional and the personal distribution on long-run growth rat...
