(2017) EKHR81 20171Department of Economic History
- Abstract

It hypothesizes that a change in five sets of factors, based on the recent literature and empirical studies on developing countries and China, has occurred. These assumptions are empirically tested utilizing a panel data for 30 Chinese provinces from 1996 to 2007. The results provide some evidence... (More)
