Remoteness and Unbalanced Growth: Understanding Divergence Across Indian Districts
Published By: ICRIER on eSS | Published Date: September, 01 , 2013The existing literature on Indian growth finds no evidence of convergence across
states. This represents a puzzle given the relatively free flows of capital, labor and
commodities across state borders. A new data set of district level income and
socio-economic data is used to explore the hypotheses of conditional convergence, using
distance as an indicator of internal geographical trade and migration costs. [ICRIER Working Paper 268].
