The role of structural transformation in regional convergence in Japan: 1874–2008
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Japan's regional convergence of productivity levels throughout the twentieth century can be best described as a cumulative process of ‘catching up, forging ahead, and falling behind’. Using a novel dataset spanning 135 years (1874–2008), this study finds support for a crucial role played by structural transformation in convergence. The pace of

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary The importance of accurate measurement of economic or social inequality is generally accepted. Estimators of its most popular measure, the Gini coefficient, are commonly criticised for becoming increasingly imprecise for increasingly skewed distributions and small to moderate samples, i.e., two phenomena that we face more frequently today.
