Empirical evidence about income convergence among regions and countries is inconclusive and it is necessary to clarify … the economic and institutional conditions for convergence. We investigate movements in the income distribution among … development. The convergence towards a narrower unimodal distribution of per capita income is convincing in this homogenous …

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 …
