- Abstract
This paper provides updates on the stylized facts regarding the relationship between urbanization progress and per capita GDP. Our empirical strategy is based on the econometric specification and estimation by using a new cross-country dataset and measured in 1999-priced per capita GDP. While our results corroborate previous findings on the general patterns of development by Chenery and Syrquin (Patterns of development, 1950–1970. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 1975), we are able to provide new insights as to the income contribution of urbanization progress and the patterns of development.
