This paper investigates convergence patterns among China's provinces using GDP data for the period 1952–97. We analyze convergence behaviour on the basis of Markov chains proposed by Quah (1993 ) and the generalized entropy decomposition proposed by Shorrocks (1980, 1984 ). Both sets of results show similar evidence of convergence within the pre‐defined geo‐economic sub‐regions, but no evidence is found of convergence between the sub‐regions. This finding has important policy implications for regional economic development in China. JEL classification: C33, E20, O47. 相似文献

This paper examines the decentralization process in the state of Maharashtra. Among the states in India, Maharashtra's efforts at decentralization are regarded as a success story. Using cross‐section data for 243 urban local governments, the paper examines the flypaper effect, that is, the expenditure stimulus of grants from the state government to the urban governments. The significance of spatial factors has been highlighted in the study. The models have been estimated using spatial econometric techniques. Most of the estimated models show the presence of the flypaper effect. 相似文献

This paper documents the response of exchange rates, interest rates and stock prices to monthly announcements of the Australian current account balance. Survey data on market participants' expectations and forecasts generated from ARIMA time series models are used to identify the unexpected component of the announcements. The study also controls for day-of-the-week effects that have been documented in the Australian equity market The results support the efficient market hypothesis and show a significant depreciation of the Australian dollar in foreign exchange markets and a significant rise in both short- and long-term interest rates to announcements of larger than expected current account deficits. The study was, however, unable to find evidence of a significant stock price response to the current account announcements. 相似文献

In 1992 a blue‐ribbon group of US economists led by Michael Porter concluded that the US stock market‐based corporate model was misallocating resources and jeopardising US competitiveness. The faster growth of US economy since then and the supposed US lead in the spread of information technology has brought new legitimacy to the stock market and the corporate model, which is being hailed as the universal standard. Two main conclusions of the analysis presented here are: (a) there is no warrant for revising the blue‐ribbon group’s conclusion; and (b) even US corporations let alone developing country ones would be better off not having stock market valuation as a corporate goal. 相似文献

Transaction utility effects when quality is uncertain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The existing literature finds that price discrepancy, which represents the difference between expected and observed price,
helps explain brand choice and purchase intention. This effect is often attributed to transaction utility, that is, the incremental
utility associated with the surprise of observing a price lower or higher than expected. This research considers the possibility,
however, that transaction utility is a less important determinant of choice when quality is uncertain. We propose and find
that acquisition utility (perceived value for the money) tends to dominate the explanation of purchase intention, but transaction
utility is significant only when consumers are more certain about quality. Our discussion considers the relative role of transaction
utility in explaining consumer decision making and how the informative and allocative roles of price might be distinguished.

We analyse the possible response from Asian developing countries (ADC) to the proposal for the formation of an international legal entity called World Environmental Organistion (WEO) designed to facilitate the internalisation of global environmental externalities. We argue that the WEO must recognise the fundamental indivisibility of the economic growthenvironment agenda in these countries. If suitable side payments in the shape of tariff concessions, relaxation of non‐tariff barriers and transfers of technology and cash are made and the WEO is seen to be relevant to the environmental problems of ADC, they may well participate in such a venture. 相似文献

We analyze the relationship between wealth inequality and caste divisions in India using nationally representative surveys on household wealth conducted during 1991–92 and 2002–03. According to our findings, the groups in India that are generally considered disadvantaged (known as Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes) have, as one would expect, substantially lower wealth than the “forward” caste groups, while the Other Backward Classes and non-Hindus occupy positions in the middle. Using the ANOGI decomposition technique, we estimate that between-caste inequality accounted for about 13% of overall wealth inequality in 2002–03. The stratification parameters indicate that the forward caste Hindus overlap little with the other caste groups, while the latter have significantly higher degrees of overlap with one another and with the overall population. Using this method, we are also able to comment on the emergence and strengthening of a “creamy layer,” or relatively well-off group, among the disadvantaged groups, especially the Scheduled Tribes. 相似文献

This article is concerned with evaluating the growth performance of states in the Indian Federation. This was sought to be
done by estimating growth equations for a group of 19 states in India as well as sub-groups of these states during the period
from 1981–1982 to 2004–2005. It has been found that, systematically, the contribution of educational attainment (social sector
capital) to the growth process is larger than the contribution of physical capital. An important concern in the article is
whether growth regressions estimated for a large group of 19 states can be replicated for smaller sub-groups. The problem
of parameter heterogeneity is investigated, and the results of this study show that there is considerable parameter heterogeneity
in the growth equations across groups. Rates of convergence estimated in this article also vary from extremely low levels
(in the absence of the education variable) to more than 10% (in the presence of the education variable). The results of this
study thus point to the great importance of education in improving the growth performance of Indian states. 相似文献
