“…The table shows that while China has a considerably lower level of emissions per capita, this is solely because of China's lower level of economic development; indeed, China's emissions per unit of GDP are about twice those of the US. If China were to achieve current US per capita GDP 2 For recent discussion of regional disparities and policies, see Chen and Groenewold (2013), Herrerias and Monfort (2015), Lin et al (2013) and Rizov and Zhang (2014). Chen and Groenewold (2014) analyses the effectiveness of various policies in the mitigation of regional disparities.…”

“…Privately-owned businesses increasingly replaced state-owned enterprises, foreign direct investment increased, and exports increased, notably with the accession of China into WTO membership (Tung, 2005;Wu, 2007). However, growth across regions of China has been uneven during the post-reform period (Wei, 2002;Fan and Sun, 2008;Hao and Wei, 2010;Lin et al, 2013).…”

Abstract. An integrative analysis of several regional economic outcome variables in China for the period of 1995-2013 reveal the major sources of regional growth differences in China. Patterns of growth in population, per capita income, gross regional product, housing prices and changes in unemployment rates are identified using principal components analysis. Regression analysis of principal component scores is applied to identify geographic patterns in the sources of the growth. The analysis suggests that shifts in labor supply largely were responsible for the regional growth differences over the period, though shifts in labor demand were nearly equally as important. The results have implications for evaluating the success of regional development policies such as the Western Development Strategy.2

“…The first one, proposed by Baumol (1986), derives from the absolute convergence to 'steady state' approach (see, e.g., Barro and Sala-i-Martin 1990;Barro et al 1991Barro et al , 1995, and the second-developed (2013), Lin et al (2013); or inter-country stochastic convergence as in the works of Datta (2003), Bentzen (2005), and Canarella et al (2010). 48 The possibility of applying the formula in Eq.…”

This chapter provides a theoretical framework of technology diffusion, which is defined as a dynamic and time-attributed process involving the transfer of information, knowledge and innovations, and standing for a continuous and gradual spread of new ideas throughout large-scale and heterogeneous societies. First, it extensively discusses theoretical technology diffusion concepts and models, explaining the technology diffusion trajectories by the use of S-shaped curves. Second, it presents the fundamental ideas and models standing behind the idea of technological substitution. Third, there is demonstrated a novel approach to identification of the 'technological take-off' and 'critical mass' effects with respect to the dynamics of the technology diffusion process and its prerequisites. Finally, based on theoretical frameworks derived from economic growth theories, it shows conceptualizations of technology convergence and technology convergence clubs.
