The most recent (Jones 2005) empirical evidence points against the convergence hypothesis: twin peaks ? Economics 270c: Lecture 1 9 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 10 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 11 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 12 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 13 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 14 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 15 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 16 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 17 (4) Mankiw, Romer, Weil (1992, QJE) An early and influential exposition of economic growth empirics, using cross-country data They take the neo-classical growth model with its assumption of constant technological progress A (which can be interpreted broadly) to the data, and assess the extent to which capital accumulation can explain recent economic growth patterns across countries. Technological progress is treated as a residual Economics 270c: Lecture 1 18 (4) Mankiw, Romer, Weil (1992, QJE) An early influential and exposition of economic growth empirics, using cross-country data They take the neo-classical growth model with its assumption of constant technological progress A (which can be interpreted broadly) to the data, and assess the extent to which capital accumulation can explain recent economic growth patterns across countries. Technological progress is treated as a residual How reasonable is it to assume that country A is uncorrelated with physical, human capital investment? Endogeneity may be a problem: are human and physical capital investment exogenous in reality? Economics 270c: Lecture 1 19 (4) Deaton (2005, REStat) National accounts system (NAS) data and household survey (HHS) data have yielded very different estimates regarding global income trends. Which is correct? This has major implications for our understanding of the impact of economic reforms in China and India Studying these measures also sheds light on data quality across regions Economics 270c: Lecture 1 20 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 21 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 22 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 23 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 24 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 25 Deaton (2005, REStat) 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Weaknesses of household survey (HHS) data: Survey non-response / non-compliance / coverage Surveys often (but not always) fail to include the rental value of owner-occupied housing Recall periods (i.e., 1 week vs. 1 month) have a major impact on reported consumption levels The disaggregation of survey items has an impact The identity of the survey respondent matters NGO / non-profit related consumption activities are typically missed in HH surveys but captured (at least in theory) in NSA measures Economics 270c: Lecture 1 26 Deaton (2005, REStat) 1) 2) 3) Weaknesses of national accounts system (NAS) data: Illegal / regulated activities (e.g., smuggling) may be systematically missed in the national accounts data The construction of NAS data often uses outdated and poorly measured official statistics, input-output tables, and estimated crop yields Household / informal sector production is missed in national accounts Economics 270c: Lecture 1 27 (4) Levine and Renelt (1992, AER) Levine and Renelt examine a regression of the form: Y = a + BII + BMM + BZZ + u where Y is per capita income growth, I is the vector of standard variables (as in MRW 1992), M the variable being tested for robustness, and Z are other controls How robust to the addition of other controls is BM? The bottom line: nearly all variables (in terms of fiscal, monetary, and trade policy, and political variables) are fragile to the addition of other controls, except for the standard investment and initial income variables Economics 270c: Lecture 1 28 Whiteboard #1 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 29 Whiteboard #2 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 30 Whiteboard #3 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 31 Whiteboard #4 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 32 Whiteboard #5 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 33 Economics 270c: Lecture 1 34
