convergence rate across the U.S. is about 7 percent per year – higher than the 2 percent normally found with OLS in cross …-country, U.S. state, and European region samples. Estimated convergence rates for 32 individual states are above 2 percent with … an average of 8.1 percent. For 29 states the convergence rate is above 2 percent with 95 percent confidence. For seven …

We use U.S. county data (3,058 observations) and 41 conditioning variables to study growth and convergence. Using OLS … and 3SLS-IV we report on the full sample and metro, non-metro, and 5 regional samples: (1) OLS yields convergence rates … around 2 percent; 3SLS yields 6–8 percent; (2) convergence rates vary (e.g., the Southern rate is 2.5 times the Northeastern …
