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 developmentChinaAggregate Human CapitalimfAggregate Labor ProductivityimfCapital productivityimfEmploymentimfGeneral issuesimfHuman CapitalimfIndustrial productivityimfInnovationimfIntellectual Property Rights: GeneralimfIntergenerational Income DistributionimfInventions & inventorsimfInventionsimfLabor ProductivityimfLabor productivityimfMacroeconomicsimfMacroeconomics: ProductionimfOccupational ChoiceimfProduction and Operations ManagementimfProductivityimfResearch and DevelopmentimfSkillsimfTechnological ChangeimfTechnological innovationimfTechnological innovationsimfTechnologyimfUnemploymentimfWagesimfChinaEconomic conditionsChina, People's Republic ofimfEconomic developmentAggregate Human CapitalAggregate Labor ProductivityCapital productivityEmploymentGeneral issuesHuman CapitalIndustrial productivityInnovationIntellectual Property Rights: GeneralIntergenerational Income DistributionInventions & inventorsInventionsLabor ProductivityLabor productivityMacroeconomicsMacroeconomics: ProductionOccupational ChoiceProduction and Operations ManagementProductivityResearch and DevelopmentSkillsTechnological ChangeTechnological innovationTechnological innovationsTechnologyUnemploymentWagesUnel Bulent1815896Zebregs Harm1815897DcWaIMFBOOK9910954669103321The Dynamics of Provincial Growth in China4371509UNINA
