investigating pairwise convergence of output in panel data sets of n countries, n(n-1)/2 tests are performed. We propose to control … show that convergence in panels of per capita output using a time series definition with the necessary condition of no unit …

. We employ non-parametric bootstrap DEA to measure technical efficiency among Jamaican banks between 1998 and 2007. In … addition, we test for conditional convergence to identify pointing variables for technical efficiency. Overall, the results … strong evidence of conditional convergence, which means that each bank is converging to its own steady-state and that GDP …
