摘要
The study presents ( 1) the convergence of labour productivity in manufacturing industries in Japanese MEAs during 1985 to 2000, using Markov chain transition matrix and ( 2) the speed of convergence to an ergodic distribution. The results indicate that ( 1) the labour productivities of all MEAs converge to different levels in the long- run and ( 2) its speed is as slow as the Solow's growth model.
