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. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/06/55. 606 $aEconomic development$zChina 607 $aChina$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aEconomic development 700 $aUnel$b Bulent$01628011 701 $aZebregs$b Harm$01628012 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814602403321 996 $aThe Dynamics of Provincial Growth in China$93964879 997 $aUNINA
