The effect of migration on income growth and convergence: meta-analytic evidence
Ozgen, Ceren; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2009
long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence … is more consistent with endogenous self-reinforcing growth than with neoclassical convergence. Introducing a net … migration variable in a growth regression increases the estimate of beta convergence slightly. Studies that use panel models or …

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 …

A Pair-Wise Approach to Testing for Output and Growth Convergence
Pesaran, Mohammad Hashem - 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 …-2000. Overall, the results do not support output convergence, and suggest that the findings of convergence clubs in the literature …

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...

Diversity and Growth
Gradstein, Mark; Justman, Moshe - 2018
The diversity of social interaction within economic communities affects productivity and growth, and is itself shaped by economic conditions. These reciprocal effects raise the possibility of multiple equilibria, of setting a socially polarized economy stagnating in poverty on a new path of...

Subjective well-being, income, economic development and growth
Sacks, Daniel W.; Stevenson, Betsey; Wolfers, Justin - 2010
We explore the relationships between subjective well-being and income, as seen across individuals within a given country, between countries in a given year, and as a country grows through time. We show that richer individuals in a given country are more satisfied with their lives than are poorer...

Alberto Alesina (1957-2020): Man, Researcher, Professor of Economics, Popularizer
Vindigni, Andrea - 2023
This paper offers an overview of Alberto Alesina's life and of his scholarly work (§ 1 and 2). It will be argued, that Alberto would have entirely deserved the award of the Nobel Prize for Economic Science, except only for his premature passing away. His foundational contribution was the...
