them as regards the relationship between factor shares and speed of convergence. Using cross-country/timeseries data, we … specify our growth regression without imposing cross-country homogeneity restrictions on the speed of convergence and short …-run parameters. Indeed, both theoretical models imply that the speed of convergence to the steady state differs across countries due …

long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. 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 …
