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 effect of migration on income growth and convergence : meta-analytic evidence
Ozgen, Ceren; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2009
We compare a set of econometric studies that measure the effect of net internal migration in neoclassical models of long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence is about 2.7%. An increase in the net migration rate of...
