We find evidence in support of Hausmann, Hwang and Rodrik (

14、2007), in that regions specializing in more sophisticated goods subsequently grow faster. We find substantial variation in export sophistication at the province and prefecture level, controlling for the level of development, and that this sophistication in turn drives growth. Our results suggest tha

As such, the extent of assembly trade and

A stochastic frontier model with a translog production and incorporated with human capital is used to estimate the growth attributes in China. Th

28、e empirical results show that input growth is the major contributor to economic growth and human capital is inadequate even though it has a positive and significant effect on growth. Technical progress is the main contributor to productivity growth and the scale effect has become important in recent

The relevant policy implication for a sustainable post-reform China economy is the need to promote human capital accumulation and improvement in technical efficiency.Article Outline1. Introduction2.
