In this paper, we study convergence in per capita gross regional products across Russian regions in the period from … model to analyze the regional convergence process in the Russian case. We also take into account possible spatial effects … and do a series of other robustness checks. Our main estimates establish a convergence rate of around 2% per year. While …

indicators could support both endogenous and neoclassical growth theories in the convergence debate. This paper investigates … convergence in real per capita GDP and inequality adjusted human development in 38 African countries, disaggregated into 10 … is that the income component of the human development index moves slower than others in the convergence process and thus …

In the absolute (relative) convergence case, the … convergence case, we analyze how to estimate the speed of convergence parameter (σ) and then discuss the relationship between the … variance of y_j(t) and that of y_j(0). In the relative convergence case, we study the error associated with …

We examine the mechanism by which human capital affects economic growth and convergence, using provincial level panel … estimate parametrically, nonparametrically, and with a threshold model. Our results show that economic convergence is …
