Empirics for Economic Growth and Convergence Empirics for Economic Growth and Convergence
The convergence hypothesis has generated a huge empirical literature: this paper critically reviews some of the earlier key ndings, clari es their implications, and relates them to more recent results. Particular attention is devoted to interpreting convergence empirics. The main ndings are: (1) The much-heralded uniform 2% rate of convergence could arise for reasons unrelated to the dynamics o...
متن کاملPolitical instability and economic growth in developing economies : some specification empirics
The paper empirically explores the specification of the relationship between political instability (PI) and economic growth, using data on different events of coups d’etat in sub-Saharan Africa. It finds that when a principal component of the various PI events is employed in an augmented production function, basic specification tests are met. However, specifying PI using the separate events, su...

It shows that an augmented Solow model that includes accumulation of human as well as physical capital provides an excellent description of the cross-country data.

متن کاملGrowth Empirics without Parameters∗
Recent research on growth empirics has been focused on resolving model and variable uncertainty. The conventional approach has been to assume a linear growth process and then to proceed with investigating the relevant variables that determine cross-country growth. This paper questions the linearity assumption underlying the vast majority of such research and uses recently-developed nonparametri...
