We perform several unit root tests that introduce structural breaks, nonlinearities and time variation, with the aim … over time. However, this convergence pattern occurs within groups of regions, according with club convergence test. Indeed …

A convergence analysis reveals that only after 1995 cross-country variation in aggregate energy intensity levels clearly … tends to decrease, driven by a strong and robust trend break in Manufacturing and enhanced convergence in Services. Moreover … rates of convergence that are on average higher in Services than in Manufacturing. Aggregate convergence patterns are almost …
