| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Our study documents the recent narrowing of the coast-inland divide in China. We argue that this rebalancing reflects, with a time lag, the catching up process which has been at work in the industry of the inland region since the end of the 1990s. The pattern is in line with the rapid and unconditional convergence observed in China's manufacturing industry over this period. The convergence of labor productivity suggests that advanced coastal regions have transferred capital and technology to the interior. |
