Title: Does Rapid and Sustained Economic Growth Lead to Convergence in Health Resources: The Case of China From 1980 to 2010 Document date: 2016_2_19
ID: sdg3nomd_11
Snippet: Beta convergence refers to a process in which poor regions grow faster than rich ones. For instance, in our study, beta convergence would suggest that the health care resources and performance had improved faster in poorer provinces than richer provinces in China. When all economies are assumed to converge toward the same steady state regardless of their specific features, beta convergence is said to be absolute. When the steady state may depend .....
Document: Beta convergence refers to a process in which poor regions grow faster than rich ones. For instance, in our study, beta convergence would suggest that the health care resources and performance had improved faster in poorer provinces than richer provinces in China. When all economies are assumed to converge toward the same steady state regardless of their specific features, beta convergence is said to be absolute. When the steady state may depend on features specific to each economy, beta convergence is then said to be conditional. Economists have acknowledged that beta convergence is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for sigma convergence. 7 In this study, the following model is used to test absolute beta convergence:
