Abstract

Convergence is considered a fundamental economic mechanism and a necessary condition for achieving industrial development and market integration as well as socio-economic cohesion in the Southern African Development (SADC) region. The former is the explicit objective of the SADC, as formulated in its Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan (RISDP). '[A] key priority under this pillar will be ensuring macroeconomic convergence, increased cooperation, and investment'. Despite convergence being a crucial ingredient for the proposed integration in the region, there has been limited research on the subject in Africa, particularly, SADC. To bridge this gap, this study sought to investigate per capita income convergence or lack thereof, in the SADC region over the period 1980 to 2017. To this end, we employed the approach proposed by Phillips and Sul (2008), which not only tests for overall convergence but for the possibility of multiple equilibria as well. Relative to the conventional approaches, this approach is superior in many respects. For instance, this technique requires no prior knowledge about possible convergence clusters, that is, the clusters are endogenously determined. Moreover, it imposes no restraints regarding trend stationarity or stochastic non-stationarity. Consequently, our findings are immune from the inefficiencies linked to unit roots or cointegration tests. The findings of the study suggested no overall convergence in the SADC region, but evidence supporting the existence of five convergence clubs, with each cluster converging to its steady-state equilibrium, and one divergent country, Angola. The first club consisted of only the high-income countries in the region, Seychelles, and Mauritius. The second convergence club had two members as well, South Africa and Botswana, whereas the third club consisted of the Kingdom of Eswatini and Namibia. In the fourth club, the identified members are Comoros, which is not included in the previous study because it was recently admitted into the bloc, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, while in the fifth club, the members are the Democratic Republic of Congo and Madagascar. The findings of this study have in-depth implications for the development policies in the SADC region. These findings suggest that the region should consider adopting and implementing policies that would explicitly target low-income countries to promote convergence, and thus, create a conducive environment for the proposed monetary union in the SADC bloc. JEL Classifications: C33 and O47 Keywords: SADC; income convergence; growth; clusters, steady state, INTRODUCTION The issue of convergence is probably one of the most researched topics in economics. Whether cross-country income differences shrink or widen over time remains a crucially important policy question. [...]

20. Income, Inequality and Poverty Convergence at the Local Government Level in Decentralized Indonesia

Abstract

Since the launch of Indonesia's decentralization reforms in 2001, the country has achieved significant progress in improving the welfare of its citizens--as seen from increasing income per capita and decreasing poverty levels. However, vertical inequality has increased, raising concerns whether inequality between different parts of the country has also grown. Using spatial econometric models with data covering the 2002-19 period, this paper examines whether there has been a convergence or divergence in income per capita, inequality and poverty across local government areas in Indonesia. The findings indicate that there has been a conditional convergence of these development outcomes across local government areas. This means that the levels of income per capita, inequality and poverty across the country's municipalities and regencies will converge, but the gaps will not be completely eliminated due to differences in their endowment factors. This conditional convergence occurs across municipalities and across regencies as well as across local government areas in Java and outside Java, but at different rates of convergence. This finding implies that Indonesia needs to maintain its decentralization policy and resist efforts to recentralize revenue sources and responsibilities. In addition, this should be complemented by efforts to assist areas with low income per capita, high inequality and high poverty rates to improve their endowment factors and institutions. Keywords: Convergence, income, inequality, poverty, Indonesia., 1. Introduction Over the last three decades, more than seventy-five countries have undertaken decentralization reforms to devolve or delegate revenue sources and important service delivery responsibilities to lower levels of [...]
