This study aims to examine the absolute and conditional convergence across the 27 EU Member States. To examine the … absolute β convergence was used Baumol model (1986) estimated by OLS and Panel Data, and to examine the absolute σ convergence … the Quah model (1993) by graphical analysis. Subsequently, we analyzed the conditional convergence, also estimated by OLS …

The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence … is more consistent with endogenous self-reinforcing growth than with neoclassical convergence. Introducing a net … migration variable in a growth regression increases the estimate of beta convergence slightly. Studies that use panel models or …
