China Region Economic Growth Convergence and Its Mechanism
We make cluster analysis on twenty-nine provinces or municipalities directly under the Central Government,divide them into three regions according to their economic structure,and then we make Barro regression to test China regional economic growth convergence.It indicates that there is no absolute βconvergence but a significant club convergence,namely there is a conditional convergence in the poorer region group and the richer group but not between them,even not in the Region Ⅱ of middle economic level.This is different from the previous results about the east,the west and the middle regions.Convergence mechanisms of the neo-classical growth theory and the new growth theory are both found in the Region Ⅰ and the Region Ⅲ.The convergence resulting from technology transfer in Region Ⅰ is slower than that in the Region Ⅲ due to the differences between learning methods of these two regions in the process of learning technology.
