本文研究了 1990 年至 2010 年期间印度尼西亚各省劳动生产率、资本积累和效率方面的地区差异的演变。通过非线性动态因子模型的视角，我们首先检验所有省份最终都会收敛到共同稳态路径的假设。我们拒绝这一假设，并发现省级劳动生产率动态具有两个趋同俱乐部的特征。接下来，我们评估劳动生产率直接来源的动态，并发现一些好坏参半的结果。一方面，物质资本积累和人力资本积累分别具有三个和两个趋同俱乐部的特征。另一方面，效率的特点是独特的趋同俱乐部。文章最后指出，鉴于各俱乐部的省级构成以及印尼全国普遍存在的低效率水平，仍需要在资本积累和效率方面做出重大改进，以缩小地区差距并加速生产率增长。
This paper studies the evolution of regional disparities in labor productivity, capital accumulation, and efficiency across Indonesian provinces over the 1990–2010 period. Through the lens of a nonlinear dynamic factor model, we first test the hypothesis that all provinces would eventually converge to a common steady‐state path. We reject this hypothesis and find that the provincial dynamics of labor productivity are characterized by two convergence clubs. We next evaluate the dynamics of the proximate sources of labor productivity and find some mixed results. On the one hand, physical and human capital accumulation are characterized by three and two convergence clubs, respectively. On the other hand, efficiency is characterized by a unique convergence club. The paper concludes by suggesting that, based on the provincial composition of each club and the common low level of efficiency across Indonesia, considerable improvements in both capital accumulation and efficiency are still needed to reduce regional disparities and accelerate productivity growth.
