Peaks vs. components
Vollmer, Sebastian; Holzmann, Hajo; Weisbrod, Julian - 2010
We analyze the cross-national distribution of GDP per capita and its evolution from 1970 to 2003. We argue that peaks are not a suitable measure for distinct growth regimes, because the number of peaks is not invariant under strictly monotonic transformations of the data (e.g. original vs. log...

The effect of migration on income growth and convergence: meta-analytic evidence

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 …

Auer, Raphael - 2009
While the direct impact of geographic endowments on prosperity is present in all countries, in former colonies, geography has also affected colonization policies and, therefore, institutional outcomes. Using non-colonized countries as a control group, I develop an empirical strategy that...

Inequality, democracy, institutional quality, and fiscal redistribution
Chong, Alberto; Gradstein, Mark - 2007
This paper studies the joint effect of economic and political inequalities on redistributive taxation and institutional quality. The theoretical model suggests that income inequality, coupled with political bias in favor of the rich, decreases redistribution and lowers institutional quality. The...
