Abstract

This paper examines time-series properties of economic growth and its key determinants for South Korea and India. The paper adopts a non-parametric method suggested by Cochrane (1988) and used by Campbell and Mankiw (1987) and Romer (1991), among others, to measure the persistence of economic growth and its determinants. The empirical evidence suggests that the rate has been more persistent in South Korea than in India.
