Convergence of China's regional incomes

China Economic Review, 2001
This paper employs time series techniques, with or without a structural break, to investigate the question of China's regional per capita income convergence. Our results suggest that China's regions, especially the eastern and the western regions, have converged to their own specific steady states over the past 40 years. The Gini coefficient, the ratio

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
The income convergence literature suggests that poor countries can catch-up to rich ones conditional on sharing certain characteristics with rich countries. Good institutions such as strong property rights and rule-of-law are key amongst those characteristics.

Is income converging in China?

Economics of Transition, 2013
AbstractThis study adopts a flexible Fourier unit‐root test proposed by Enders and Lee (2012) to revisit the tendency towards convergence in real per capita income among provinces after economic reform in China. When a data‐generating process is non‐linear, a Fourier series not only allows for the possibility of an unknown number of structural breaks ...

Revisiting income convergence in Turkey: Are there convergence clubs?

Growth and Change, 2019
AbstractThis paper investigates club convergence in per capita income across 81 NUTS‐III regions in Turkey over the 1987–2017 period using the procedure suggested by Phillips and Sul. Based on a nonlinear factor model that allows for transitional heterogeneity, our econometric approach enables us to test the presence of convergence clusters and to ...

AFTA, Income Growth, and Income Convergence in ASEAN

The International Trade Journal, 2008
The rapid economic growth experienced by the core ASEAN members (comprised of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia) since the 70s was generally attributed to openness policies adopted by the respective governments.

Income Inequality and Economic Convergence in Turkey

Transition Studies Review, 2006
Even though the convergence of regional per capita incomes has been a highly debated issue internationally, empirical evidence regarding Turkey is both limited and contradictory. This paper is an attempt to investigate regional income inequality and convergence dynamics in Turkish gross domestic product.

Income Convergence within and between Countries

International Economic Review, 1996
Summary: We study how trade changes the rate of income convergence within and between countries in a model of endogenous growth. An externality in the production of human capital implies that inequality slows down growth under autarky. Eventually incomes converge, raising the growth rate.

Growth and convergence in Danish regional incomes

Scandinavian Economic History Review, 1994
Abstract In this paper Danish regional income differences over a period offifty years have been analysed. The basic tool of analysis is the ‘Catch-up’ hypothesis, which is usually applied in internationally comparative studies of income growth and convergence.

SPATIAL CLUSTERING, INEQUALITY AND INCOME CONVERGENCE [PDF]

open access: possibleRegion et Developpement, 2005
This paper examines the relationship between spatial clustering and inequality at the county scale with overall state per capita income in the US over the period 1969-2000. For each of the 48 coterminous states, we examine measures of inequality and spatial clustering and explore how a state's overall income level may be influenced by, or influence ...
