متن کاملA Forward Projection of the Cross-Country Income Distribution
This paper proposes and implements a method to predict the evolution of the crosscountry income distribution using a stochastic parameterization of the Azariadis– Drazen (1990) nonconvex growth model. We estimate the dynamic structure of that model from data in the Penn World Tables, and define inductively all future distributions as a norm-convergent sequence in the function space L1. Elements...
متن کاملGrowth and Inflation: A Cross-Country Study
This paper examines the effect of inflation on real growth in a Solow growth model using data from a cross section of countries over a 30-year period. The advantage of using a theoretical model is that it reduces the risk that the results will reflect data-mining. The results suggest that the 5 percentage point reduction in inflation from the 1970s to the 1980s would increase the growth rate of...
