| Title: | Why Should Regional Agricultural Productivity Growth Converge? Evidence from Italian Regions |
| Authors: | Esposti, Roberto |
| Keywords: | TFP growth
Convergence
Panel Data |
| Issue Date: | 2008 |
| Abstract: | The paper analyses agricultural TFP
growth across Italian regions during the 1952-2002
period, and aims at identifying those factors that
favour or hinder regional agricultural TFP growth
convergence. Of major relevance is whether regions,
despite their inescapable heterogeneity, tend to share
common technological improvements, that is, to move
along the same productivity growth rate. TFP growth
decomposition ultimately allows attributing observed
productivity performance to convergence and
divergence forces. Appropriate testing and estimation
procedures are adopted to take into account panel
unit-root issues and cross-sectional dependence. |
