On the multivariate analysis of the "Lisbon process"

The role of the exchange rate regime in the process of real and nominal convergence

D'Adamo, Gaetano; Rovelli, Riccardo - 2013

In these and related … non-traded sectors) on the dual inflation differential is more than twice as large as that in the "flexible" countries. We … conclude that, in a catching-up country, premature euro adoption may foster excess inflation, beyond that which is to be …

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

Pesaran, M. Hashem (contributor) - 2004 - [Elektronische Ressource]

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...

Testing mundell's intuition of endogenous OCA theory

Warin, Thierry (contributor); … - 2008

This paper presents an empirical assessment of the endogenous optimum currency area theory. Frankel and Rose (1998) study the endogeneity of a currency union through the lens of international trade flows. Our study extends Frankel and Rose's model by using FDI flows to test the original theory...

Human capital and the economic convergence mechanism : evidence from China

Zhang, Xiaboei; Li, Haizheng; Wang, Xiaojun; Fleisher, … - 2019

We examine the mechanism by which human capital affects economic growth and convergence, using provincial level panel data from China. We specify alternative measures of human capital and apply them to an enhanced growth model which we estimate parametrically, nonparametrically, and with a...

The purpose of this paper is to assess the implications of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) accession of eight Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) on their share in EMU-12 imports. Overcoming biases related to endogeneity, omitted variables and sample selection, our results...

10 years after : EU enlargement, closed borders, and migration to Germany

Elsner, Benjamin; Zimmermann, Klaus F. - 2013

We study how the EU enlargement in 2004 and the Great Recession in the late 2000s have shaped the scale and composition of migration flows from the New Member States to Germany. We demonstrate that immigration increased substantially despite the restrictions on the German labor market, and that...
