I estimate establishment level total factor productivity (TFP) convergence using panel data from India's manufacturing … sector from 2001-2015. I examine the presence of foreign owned establishments within each industry's productivity frontier …, and allow for the speed of productivity convergence to differ based on the ownership composition of the frontier. While I …

In the paper, productivity convergence is analyzed with a broad panel of industry sector data for the United States and … had a significant effect on German sectoral productivity growth in the sixties and seventies. Some part of the catching …-up is due to capital-deepening, but most of it is total factor productivity convergence, i.e. endogenous growth models …

Using a spatial dynamic panel, the long-run industrial sector convergence rate across Mexico's states is found to be 2%. The model is a system-General Method of Moments with correction for spatial autocorrelation and an explicit human capital input. The significant inequality between the richest...

This paper revisits the role of the manufacturing sector during the middle-income stage. By exploiting a large dataset that covers internationally comparable sectoral information, we prove that the manufacturing sector is imbued with three important characteristics. First, for middle-income...
