A Continuous State Space Approach to “Convergence by Parts”

Paul Johnson

No 54, Vassar College Department of Economics Working Paper Series from Vassar College Department of Economics

Abstract: Using a continuous state space approach, this note extends Feyrer's [2003] study of the proximate determinants of the shape of the long-run distribution of income per capita. Contrary to Feyrer's finding of the primacy of TFP, the results here imply that traps in both TFP growth and capital accumulation may matter.
