Convergence in an Enlarged Europe: The Turkish Case.

This paper examines the process of convergence in relative GDP per capita across EU countries and Turkey and investigates the effects of openness, economic activity and human capital investment in the growth process. The presence of convergence was found to be higher for EU countries. We apply panel data tests of convergence with annual data available from 1998 to 2007. We have constructed the European Union data set to include Turkish data. The results have some important policy implications for the European Union and Turkey.
