Testing Regional Convergence in Iran's Economy
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Convergence hypothesis is one of the results of neoclassical growth model, which has been examined recently. This hypothesis has two forms of absolute and conditional Beta-convergence and implies that regions with lower per capita output have higher per capita growth rates. Since there is no data for regional GDP in Iran, there has been n study to test convergence hypothesis in Iran. Our main contribution in this paper is testing convergence by using the data of demand deposits of Iran’s provinces and examining convergence in per capita demand deposits on the base of endogenous demand deposits creation theory in real business cycles approach. Our empirical results have provided some support for Beta-convergence in Iran’s regional growth when OLS is used. But our results do not support Sigma-convergence or decrease in regional inequality.

full textCapital Accumulation and Convergence in a Small Open Economy
Outward-oriented economies seem to grow faster than inward-looking ones. Does the literature on convergence have anything to say on this? In the dynamic Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model, with factor-price equalization, there is no convergence of incomes. This is because with identical preferences and return to capital, irrespective of initial levels the growth rates of consumption are the same....

Dynamic model, regional economy, innovation. This paper presents a normative balance mathematical model of regional economy that contains a lot of unspecified parameters which are not defined directly by the data of economic statistics. A method for estimation of the model parameters by application of parallel computations on multi-processors systems is presented. It is determined the...
