China's March to Prosperity: Reforms to Avoid the Middle-income Trap
Koen, Vincent; Herd, Richard; Hill, Sam - Economics Department, Organisation de Coopération et … - 2013
China is well-placed to avoid the so-called “middle-income trap” and to continue to converge towards the more advanced economies, even though growth is likely to slow from near double-digit rates in the first decade of this millennium to around 7% at the 2020 horizon. However, in order to...

Regional Convergence in Russia: Estimating a Neoclassical Growth Model
Lehmann, Hartmut; Oshchepkov, Aleksey; Silvagni, Maria … - 2020
In this paper, we study convergence in per capita gross regional products across Russian regions in the period from … model to analyze the regional convergence process in the Russian case. We also take into account possible spatial effects … and do a series of other robustness checks. Our main estimates establish a convergence rate of around 2% per year. While …

Education and Growth with Learning by Doing
Marconi, Gabriele; de Grip, Andries - 2015
We develop a general equilibrium overlapping generations model which is based on the view that education makes workers more productive by increasing their ability to learn from work experience, rather than providing skills that directly increase productivity. One important implication of the...

Different Versions of the Easterlin Paradox: New Evidence for European Countries
Kaiser, Caspar F.; Vendrik, Maarten C.M. - 2018
Richer people are happier than poorer people, but when a country becomes richer over time, its people do not become happier. This seemingly contradictory pair of findings of Richard Easterlin has be-come famous as the Easterlin Paradox. However, it was met with counterevidence. To shed more...

Structural reform waves and economic growth
Marrazzo, Pasquale Marco; Terzi, Alessio - 2017
At a time of slow growth in several advanced and emerging countries, calls for more structural reforms are multiplying. However, estimations of the short- and medium-term impact of these reforms on GDP growth remain methodologically problematic and still highly controversial. We contribute to...
