Regional Income Divergence in China: a Non-stationary Panel Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using newly developed econometric techniques, Pedroni and Yao (2006) show that China has been experiencing regional income divergence since the Reform Period, and that traditional explanations explaining divergence are insufficient. This paper considers the role of labor mobility in the context of endogenous growth with positive externalities to human capital. Using provincial level data on income, migration and population, non-stationary panel techniques are applied to test for regional convergence conditional on migration rates.
