Divergence in State-Level Per Capita Carbon Dioxide Emissions (2007, methodology): “Methods The transition matrix framework is a nonparametric method frequently used in the economic growth literature to evaluate the dynamics of income distributions (Quah 1993; Kremer et al. 2001).”
Per Capita Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Convergence or Divergence? (2005, background): “The mapping operator M can be assumed to follow any process, but like Quah (1993a) and Kremer et al. (2001), I assume a first-order Markov process with time-invariant transition probabilities.”
Does Financial Globalization Induce Better Macroeconomic Policies? (2004, methodology): “…matrix approach is a first- order stochastic difference equation describing the evolution of a sequence of discrete 11 This approach has been traditionally used in studies of economic growth and convergence (originally by Quah, 1993 and, more recently, by Kremer, Onatski, and Stock, 2001).”
R/D, Implementation, and Stagnation: A Schumpeterian Theory of Convergence Clubs (2005, unknown): “Kremer et al. (2001) Þnd that a single-peaked distribution may emerge but only after a prolonged transition. Mayer (2001) Þnds twin peaks in the distribution of life expectancy using the available data for 1962 to 1997.”
Reliving the 1950s: the big push, poverty traps, and takeoffs in economic development (2006, unknown): “They note that the literature has been fairly inconclusive, with some work by Quah (1996a,b, 1997) indicating the existence of “twin peaks” in the distribution of income, which could be consistent with a poverty trap at low incomes, while Kremer, Onatski, and Stock (2001) argue that Quah’s results”
THE DISTURBING "RISE" OF GLOBAL INCOME INEQUALITY (2002, unknown): “If China and India continue to grow over the next 50 years and 41 Quah (1997), Jones (1996) and Kremer et al. (2001) forecast the world distribution of income but they assume that each African country has a small but positive probability of engaging in a rapid growth process.”
Rich Nations, Poor Nations: How Much Can Multiple Equilibria Explain? (2001, unknown): “Since the sum of strictly concave functions is strictly concave, all we need to show is that each of the three terms in (43) is strictly concave.”
The Anatomy of Start-Stop Growth (2008, background): “, Quah (1993, 1996), Kremer et al. (2001), and others), the view that poverty traps prevent countries from growing at all does not seem borne out in the data.”
Human Capital Inequality, Life Expectancy and Economic Growth (2008, unknown): “Kremer et al. (2001) estimate transition probabilities over five-year intervals rather than annual intervals.”
Learning the Wealth of Nations (2008, unknown): “the choice of economic policies, as advocated by Kremer, Onatski, and Stock (2001) .”
Poverty Traps, Aid, and Growth (2005, background): “There is some controversy, however, regarding the bimodality of the long-run income distribution: Kremer, Onatski, and Stock (2001) argue that the dynamics of the world income distribution are better characterized by a prolonged transition, during which inequality may increase, towards a…”
Middle-Income Traps: A Conceptual and Empirical Survey (2015, methodology): “We follow the transition matrix approach previously laid out in Quah (1993) and Kremer et al. (2001) to describe the dynamics of income per capita distribution across countries.”
