We obtain time series estimates of the long run growth rates of 17 OECD countries, and test the hypothesis that these are the same across countries. We find that we cannot reject this hypothesis for the first and last three decades of the 20th century. We conclude that: (i) there are few, if...

This paper investigates the impact of foreign aid and foreign direct investment on the long-run income per capita and short-run income growth of Lao PDR. We formulate a modification of Solow model; then we employ a cointegration technique to carry out the long-run relationship, and employ an...

The existing literature on Indian growth finds no evidence of B convergence across states. This represents a puzzle … convergence rates across 575 Indian districts and find that the pattern of absolute B- divergence remains. To explain this we … develop a model of conditional convergence that includes a gravity indicator of trade and migration costs - specifically the …
