The Oxford Handbook of Information and Communication Technologies
The Oxford Handbook of Information and Communication Technologies is about the many challenges presented by information and communication technologies (ICTs). The authors are principally researchers in anthropology, economics, philosophy, politics, and sociology. The book sets out an intellectual agenda that examines the implications of ICTs for individuals, organizations, democracy, and the economy. The production and consumption of ICTs are bec…

Chapter 4 The new empirics of economic growth
Empirics for Growth and Distribution
Regional convergence clusters across Europe
Twin Peaks
Convergence concerns poor economies catching up with rich ones. At is- sue is what happens to the cross sectional distribution of economies, not whether a single economy tends towards its own steady state. It is the latter, however, that has preoccupied the traditional approach to con- vergence analysis. This paper describes an alternative body of research that overcomes this shortcoming in the traditional approach. The new findings on persistenc…
Empirics for economic growth and convergence
Measuring Core Inflation
In this paper we argue that measured (RPI) inflation is conceptually mismatched with core inflation: the difference is more than just measurement error. We propose a technique for measuring core inflation, based on an explicit long-run economic hypothesis. Core inflation is defined as that component of measured inflation that has no (medium-to) long-run impact on real output - a notion that is consistent with the vertical long-run Phillips curve …

Galton's Fallacy and Tests of the Convergence Hypothesis
Recent tests for the convergence hypothesis derive from regressing average growth rates on initial levels: a negative initiid level coefficient is interpreted as convergence.These tests turn out to be plagued by Francis Gahon's classical fallacy of regression towards the mean.Using a dynamic version of Gallon's fallacy, we establish that, in fact, coefficients of arbi- trary signs in such regressions are consistent with an unchanging cross-sectio…
Empirical cross-section dynamics in economic growth
[Testing for Common Features]
I show that the Engle-Kozicki formulation of common features--applied to international business cycles--has some surprising, counterintuitive, and, I argue, undesirable implications. Such implications can be derived only on a case-by-case basis, however, and are necessarily specific to each application. Therefore, some attention to those possibilities might usefully accompany each application of the general common-features principle
Permanent and Transitory Movements in Labor Income
Many have argued that, if labor income is difference stationary, the permanent income hypothesis predicts that consumption should be relatively volatile. In U.S. aggregate data, labor income is well characterized as having a unit root; however, consumption turns out to be relatively smooth. This anomaly is known as Deaton's paradox. The author resolves this paradox by providing decompositions of labor income into permanent and transitory componen…
