Abstract

By applying key notions of evolutionary economics, this study develops an analytical framework to explain the differentiated evolutionary paths of convergence and divergence in the economic growth across China’s provinces since 1978. We adopt the nonparametric approach in the study, including both univariate and multivariate kernel density estimation. We find evidence that the convergence in economic growth across provinces does not take shape. Instead, a divergence exists in the economic growth of China. Furthermore, the evolutionary dynamics revealed by our kernel estimation suggests that the disparity of the economic growth rate continuously increases since 1978, not only among different provinces, but also among different areas within a single province.
