Regional Growth and Migration : A Japan-U.S. Comparison
Barro, Robert J. - 1992
Do poor economies grow faster than rich ones? This important economic question (which we call [beta]-convergence) is … of convergence in both countries: poor prefectures and states grow faster. We also find that there is intraregional as … well as interregional convergence. We analyze the cross sectional standard deviation across prefectures and states. We find …

Newer need not be better : evaluating the Penn World Tables and the World Development Indicators using nighttime lights
Pinkovskiy, Maxim; Sala-i-Martin, Xavier - 2016
Nighttime lights data are a measure of economic activity whose measurement error is plausibly independent of the errors of most conventional indicators. Therefore, we can use nighttime lights as an independent benchmark to assess existing measures of economic activity (Pinkovskiy and...

Augmented and Unconstrained: revisiting the Regional Knowledge Production Function
Charlot, Sylvie; Crescenzi, Riccardo; Musolesi, Antonio - 2014
By adopting a semiparametric approach, the 'traditional' regional knowledge production function is developed in three complementary directions. First, the model is augmented with region-specic time trends in order to account for endogeneity due to selection on unobservables. Second, the...
