Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between output volatility and growth using regional data from South Korea over the period 1985-2003. The estimation is conducted using volatility that varies across regions as well as across time. The findings indicate that provinces with higher volatility have lower growth, but this is largely due to common shocks across provinces.
