Impacts of Regional Growth on Farmland Development in the Northeast U.S.

Hailu, Yohannes; Brown, Cheryl - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2007

This study models the relationship between regional growth and agricultural land development in the Northeast United States. A system of simultaneous equations is estimated using three-stage-least squares on county-level data. Results indicate that regional growth puts upward pressure on...

Volatility and development

Koren, Miklos; Tenreyro, Silvana - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2005

Why is GDP growth so much more volatile in poor countries than in rich ones? We identify four possible reasons: (i) poor countries specialize in more volatile sectors; (ii) poor countries specialize in fewer sectors; (iii) poor countries experience more frequent and more severe aggregate shocks...

Is Poland the next Spain?

Caselli, Francesco; Tenreyro, Silvana - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2005

We revisit Western Europe’s record with labor-productivity convergence, and tentatively extrapolate its implications … capital accumulation and TFP growth reflect convergence along two margins. One margin (between industry) is a massive …. Coupled with the fact that within-industry productivity gaps are enormous, this suggests that convergence will take a long …

Technological diversification

Koren, Miklos; Tenreyro, Silvana - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2007

Economies at early stages of development are often shaken by abrupt changes in growth rates, whereas in advanced economies growth rates tend to be relatively stable. To explain this pattern, we propose a theory of technological diversification. Production makes use of different input varieties,...

An Empirical Analysis of Employment, Migration, Local Public Services and Regional Income Growth in Appalachia

Gebremariam, Gebremeskel; Gebremedhin, Tesfa; … - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2007

This study develops a five-equation simultaneous system in a partial lag-adjustment growth-equilibrium framework. It improved previous models in the growth-equilibrium tradition by explicitly modeling local government and regional income in the growth process. It also explicitly modeled gross...

Is Income Inequality Endogenous in Regional Growth?

Hailu, Yohannes; Kahsai, Mulugeta; Gebremedhin, Tesfa; … - Regional Research Institute (RRI), West Virginia University - 2009

This study focuses on testing the relationship between income inequality and growth within U.S. counties, and the channels through which such effects are observed. Based on a system of equations estimation, the empirical results confirm the hypotheses that income inequality has a growth...
