A method for analyzing productivity convergence based on frontier production functions is proposed. It is examined whether departures from the frontier|country{level ineciencies|exhibit long{run relationships and convergence. The method is applied to 1-digit industries of 14 OECD countries from...

Recent research in the field of network economics has shown how explicitly modelling the network structure of social and economic relations can provide significant theoretical insights, as well as account for previously unexplained empirical evidence. Despite their critical importance to many...
