Myrdal contra Ohlin: Accounting for the Sources of U.S. County Per Capita Income Convergence Using a Flexible Decomposition Approach

A Convergence Study on Demographics, Human Capital, and Per Capita Income for the US States

This paper finds that age distribution, educational attainment, and government size converge across the US states at rates rather similar to the convergence rate for per capita income.

Using panel data, the estimated partial relation between age and the subsequent growth rate of per ...
