Centralized fiscal transfers to the provinces are principal means of reducing income inequalities in China. The coastal main transfer donors poorer provinces. We evaluate if equity objective sacrifices aggregate growth using four panel vector auto-regressions (PVARs) for geographical regions Chinese PVARs estimated centralized transfers, government spending, taxes and output from 1994 2018, whe...

The relationship between economic fluctuations and mortality is assessed with data from Spain during the years 1980–1997, when national unemployment oscillated between 7% and 24%. Mortality rates of the Spanish provinces are modeled in fixed-effect panel regressions as functions of the demographic structure and the economic conditions. Unemployment effects on general mortality, sex-specific mor...

<p>In this article, we analyze to what extent cultural diversity brought about by immigrants affects economic activity of the Spanish provinces. To do that, use panel data techniques that treat as an endogenous variable and account for spatial linkages. The dual nature in Spain, is, working retired migration, is also considered our regressions. outcomes reveal greater stimulates provinces...

This paper introduces the problem of coresets for regression problems to panel data settings. We first define several variants with and then present efficient algorithms construct size that depend polynomially on 1/$\varepsilon$ (where $\varepsilon$ is error parameter) number parameters - independent individuals in or time units each individual observed for. Our approach based Feldman-Langberg ...

This paper tests Wagner’s law of increasing state activity using panels of Chinese provinces. The paper’s main methodological contribution is in that we employ for the first time in the literature on Wagner’s law a panel unit root, panel cointegration and Granger Causality testing approach. Overall, we find mixed evidence in support of Wagner’s law for China’s central and western provinces, but...

China's rapid and uneven growth since 1978 has not eliminated but even reinforced the persistent income inequality across provinces. While existing literature focuses mainly on the provincial variation in growth performance using cross-province growth regressions or growth accounting, few efforts has been made to directly study the differences in income levels across provinces. This paper explo...
