Heterogeneous convergence
Young, Andrew T.; Higgins, Matthew J.; Levy, Daniel - 2013
We use U.S. county-level data to estimate convergence rates for 22 individual states. We find significant heterogeneity …. E.g., the California estimate is 19.9 percent and the New York estimate is 3.3 percent. Convergence rates are …

Federal, state, and local governments: Evaluating their separate roles in US growth
Higgins, Matthew J.; Young, Andrew T.; Levy, Daniel - 2008
We use US county level data (3,058 observations) from 1970 to 1998 to explore the relationship between economic growth and the extent of government employment at three levels: federal, state and local. We find that increases in federal, state and local government employments are all negatively...

Federal, State, and Local Governments : Evaluating Their Separate Roles in Us Growth
Higgins, Matthew John; Young, Andrew T.; Levy, Daniel - 2015
We use new US county level data (3,058 observations) from 1970 to 1998 to explore the relationship between economic growth and the size of government at three levels: federal, state and local. Using 3SLS-IV estimation we find that the size of federal, state and local government all either...

Heterogeneous Convergence
Young, Andrew T.; Higgins, Matthew John; Levy, Daniel - 2015
estimate heterogeneity in convergence rates across 22 individual U.S. states. Applying GMM estimation, we find significant … heterogeneity in the state-level convergence rates. For example, while the average convergence rate is 9.2 percent, the California … estimate is 19.9 percent and the New York estimate is 3.3 percent. The estimated convergence rates are essentially uncorrelated …
