Yet, this impressive performance has been associated with an increasing regional income disparity. We use a recently developed nonparametric approach to analyze the variation in labor productivity growth across China's provinces. This approach imposes less structure on the data than the standard growth accounting framework and allows for a breakdown of labor productivity into capital deepening, efficiency gains, and technological progress. Like other studies before us, we do not find strong evidence of convergence in labor productivity across China's provinces during 1978-98. However, our results show that provinces converged in efficiency levels, while they diverged in capital deepening and technological progress.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/055Economic developmentChinaProduction and Operations ManagementimfInventionsimfEmploymentimfUnemploymentimfWagesimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfHuman CapitalimfSkillsimfOccupational ChoiceimfLabor ProductivityimfMacroeconomics: ProductionimfInnovationimfResearch and DevelopmentimfTechnological ChangeimfIntellectual Property Rights: GeneralimfMacroeconomicsimfInventions & inventorsimfTechnologyimfgeneral issuesimfCapital productivityimfLabor productivityimfProductivityimfTechnological innovationimfIndustrial productivityimfTechnological innovationsimfChinaEconomic conditionsChina, People's Republic ofimfEconomic developmentProduction and Operations ManagementInventionsEmploymentUnemploymentWagesIntergenerational Income DistributionAggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityHuman CapitalSkillsOccupational ChoiceLabor ProductivityMacroeconomics: ProductionInnovationResearch and DevelopmentTechnological ChangeIntellectual Property Rights: GeneralMacroeconomicsInventions & inventorsTechnologygeneral issuesCapital productivityLabor productivityProductivityTechnological innovationIndustrial productivityTechnological innovationsUnel Bulent1558685Zebregs Harm1558686DcWaIMFBOOK9910788694603321The Dynamics of Provincial Growth in China3823274UNINA
