Abstract

This article reviews previous empirical analyses of the relation between economic growth and volatility for regional and state economies. Gross state product data are used to document the extent to which slower overall growth and deindustrialization occurred during the past three decades in the United States. Estimates are presented for two models that demonstrate that output volatility is explained by changes in growth over time rather than longer-term average rates of growth. Industry structure variables and absolute measures of economic size are also found to be significant determinants of state output volatility.
