CONCLUSION""This paper considers the long-run evolution of the world economy in a model where countries' opportunities to develop depend on their trade with advanced economies. As developing countries become advanced, they further improve trade opportunities for the remaining developing countries. Whether or not the world economy converges to widespread prosperity depends on the population growth differential between developing and advanced economies, the rate at which countries develop, and potentially on initial conditions. A calibration using historical data suggests that the long-run prospects for lagging developing regions, such as Africa, likely hinge on the sufficiently rapid development of China and India.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/021Economic geographyEconometric modelsDemographic changeimfDemographic Economics: GeneralimfDemographic transitionimfDemographic Trends, Macroeconomic Effects, and ForecastsimfDemographyimfEconomic Growth of Open EconomiesimfEmigration and ImmigrationimfEmigration and immigrationimfIncomeimfInternational MigrationimfMacroeconomicsimfMigrationimfMigration, immigration & emigrationimfNational accountsimfOne, Two, and Multisector Growth ModelsimfPersonal incomeimfPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsimfPopulation & demographyimfPopulation & migration geographyimfPopulation and demographicsimfPopulation growthimfPopulationimfDeveloping countriesCommerceEconometric modelsChina, People's Republic ofimfEconomic geographyEconometric models.Demographic changeDemographic Economics: GeneralDemographic transitionDemographic Trends, Macroeconomic Effects, and ForecastsDemographyEconomic Growth of Open EconomiesEmigration and ImmigrationEmigration and immigrationIncomeInternational MigrationMacroeconomicsMigrationMigration, immigration & emigrationNational accountsOne, Two, and Multisector Growth ModelsPersonal incomePersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsPopulation & demographyPopulation & migration geographyPopulation and demographicsPopulation growthPopulationChamon Marcos1090692Kremer Michael485683International Monetary Fund.Research Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910967323703321Economic Transformation, Population Growth, and the Long-Run World Income Distribution4371336UNINA
