Replication Data for Chapter 3: Labor productivity and innovation performance of science and technology parks in China: Is there a convergence?

This chapter estimates dynamic panel data models on a sample comprising 53 STPs in China for 2008 – 2018 and finds evidence for beta- and sigma-convergence of labor productivity and beta-, but not sigma-convergence of innovation performance. FDI and human capital have a significant impact on labor productivity and innovation of STPs, and explain differences in performance among them.
