Mining matters : natural resource extraction and local business constraints

Haas, Ralph de; Poelhekke, Steven - 2016

We estimate the impact of local mining activity on the business constraints experienced by 22,150 firms across eight resource-rich countries. We find that with the presence of active mines, the business environment in the immediate vicinity (20 km) of a firm deteriorates but business constraints...

Regional inequality, convergence, and its determinants : a view from outer space

Lessmann, Christian; Seidel, André - 2015 - This version: 16.04.2015

This paper provides a new data set of regional income inequalities within countries based on satellite nighttime light data. We first empirically study the relationship between luminosity data and regional incomes for those countries where regional income data are available. We subsequently use...

A pair-wise approach to testing for output and growth convergence

Pesaran, M. Hashem (contributor) - 2004

This paper proposes a pair-wise approach to testing for output convergence that considers all N(N-1)/2 possible pairs of log per capita output gaps across N economies. A general probabilistic definition of output convergence is also proposed, which suggests that all such output gap pairs must be...

Drifting together or falling apart? : The empirics of regional economic growth in post-unification Germany

Colavecchio, Roberta (contributor); … - 2005

The objective of this paper is to address the question of convergence across German districts in the first decade after German unification by drawing out and emphasising some stylised facts of regional per capita income dynamics. We achieve this by employing non-parametric techniques which focus...

Testing for output convergence : a re-examination

Cheung, Yin-Wong; Pascual, Antonio I. Garcia - 2000

This paper investigates output convergence for the G7 countries using multivariate time series techniques. We consider both the null hypotheses of no convergence and convergence. It is shown that inferences on output convergence depend on which one of the two null hypotheses is considered....

A global compass for the great divergence : emissions vs. production centers of gravity 1820-2008

Sauter, Caspar; Grether, Jean-Marie; Mathys, Nicole Andréa - 2019

We construct the world's centers of gravity for human population, GDP and CO2 emissions by taking the best out of five recognized data sources covering the last two centuries. On the basis of a novel distorsion-free representation of these centers of gravity, we find a radical Western shift of...

Long memory in US real output per capita

Caporale, Guglielmo Maria; Gil-Alaña, Luis A. - 2009

This paper analyses the long memory properties of quarterly real output per capita in the US (1948Q1 - 2008Q3) using non-parametric, semi-parametric and parametric techniques. The results vary substantially depending on the methodology employed. Evidence of mean reversion is obtained in a...
