A Long‐Run Perspective on Unconditional Convergence in Manufacturing
This paper examines long‐run unconditional convergence of labour productivity in manufacturing across 48 contiguous U.S. states. We construct a detailed panel data set of state‐industry pairs with over 120 industries covering the period 1880–2007. The remarkable finding is a rapid rate of unconditional ‐convergence: 7.6% per year in the period 1880–2007, and about 6.5% in each period 1880–1940 and 1958–2007. We also find a steep rise in unconditi…
International Migration and the Role of Remittances in Eastern Europe
In this paper we analyse the effect of remittances on employment performance for Central and East European (CEE) economies. We show that the impact of remittances on unemployment depends on its effect on productivity growth and investment. In order to empirically analyse the impact of remittances we estimate a productivity equation using a set of 11 transition countries during the 1990 to 1999 period. Our results show support for the view that re…
