Despite convergence is usually found to occur conditionally to economy-wide factors, this study reveals a clear process of … unconditional convergence for nancial and business-related market services.

The paper aims to test the existence of different regimes in the growth process. We propose a simple nonlinear growth … model which features different relationships between growth rate and income level. We iden tify its testable implications in … terms of state space dynamics. By estimating Markov transition matrices we show that growth is indeed a nonlinear process …

One of the most important drawbacks of the existing literature on convergence is that it largely ignores the effect of … care. Failing to do so might in fact lead to an overestimation of the tendency towards either convergence or divergence … introduced when the period of analysis contains incomplete business cycles could be quite sizeable and then analyze convergence …

Does a country?s level of unemployment have an impact on the long-run growth rate? Incorporating unemployment into a … generalised augmented Solow-type growth model, yields some answers to this question. In particular, we show that the impact of … unemployment on productivity growth heavily depends on the influence of human capital in the production function. In the …
