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...

Does light touch cluster policy work? : evaluating the Tech City programme

Nathan, Max - 2019

Despite academic scepticism, cluster policies remain popular with policymakers. This paper evaluates the causal impact of a flagship UK technology cluster programme. I build a simple framework and identify effects using difference-in-differences and synthetic controls on rich microdata. I...

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...

Human capital spillovers, productivity and regional convergence in Spain

Ramos, Raúl; Suriñach Caralt, Jordi; Artís Ortuño, … - 2009

This paper analyses the differential impact of human capital, in terms of different levels of schooling, on regional productivity and convergence. The potential existence of geographical spillovers of human capital is also considered by applying spatial panel data techniques. The empirical...

Is there convergence of Russia's regions? : exploring the empirical evidence ; 1995 - 2010

Lehmann, Hartmut; Silvagni, Maria Giulia - 2013

This paper analyzes convergence in per capita gross regional product of Russia's regions during the period 1995-2010, when regional data are available. Using a panel regression framework we find no evidence for beta-convergence. Instead we find divergence, which is, however, attenuated over...

A distribution dynamics approach to regional GDP convergence in unified Germany

Juessen, Falko - 2009

This paper uses nonparametric techniques to study GDP convergence across German labor market regions and counties during the period 1992-2004. The main result is that regional convergence in unified Germany has been substantial. In the first years after German unification the distribution of GDP...

Racial heterogeneity in the U.S. structural transformation and regional convergence

Kim, Minki; Lee, Munseob - 2023

Structural transformation and regional convergence in U.S. income have been long-standing trends. Caselli and Coleman (2001) discovered that 60% of regional convergence between the U.S. South and North from 1940 to 1990 is due to structural transformation. Our replication confirms these robust...
