Growth and Convergence in a Two-Region Model : The Hypothetical Case of Korean Unification / Michael Funke, Holger Strulik.

The numerical solutions are based on the formal analytical model, and have been calibrated so that they reflect the observed features of the North and South Korean economies. The numerical solutions provide evidence about the speed of convergence and the large amount of interregional transfers that are required to make the North Korean economy economically viable.
