Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We document substantial within-country (cross-municipality) differences
in incomes for a large number of countries in the Americas. A significant fraction of the within-country differences cannot be explained by observed human capital. We conjecture that the sources of within-country and between-country differences are related. As a first step toward a unified framework, we propose a simple model incorporating differences in technological know-how across countries
and differences in productive efficiency within countries. (JEL E23, I31, J31, O15, O18, O47, R23)
