This paper exploits a novel municipal-level data set to explore patterns of convergence in income and poverty in Mexico … evidence of income and poverty convergence at the municipal level. The findings suggest that these convergence processes stem … transfers to poor households, seem to have played an important role in driving these results by bolstering income growth among …

As novel contributions, we provide a more robust way of estimating convergence clubs for the subsequent ….

This paper analyzes convergence in per capita gross regional product of Russia's regions during the period 1995 …-2010, when regional data are available. Using a panel regression framework we find no evidence for beta-convergence. Instead we … find divergence, which is, however, attenuated over time. Robustness checks that use regional real income instead of gross …

By conditioning income on averages of subsets of the sample, new dimensions of the impact of covariates can be … obtained. It is demonstrated that convergence is pronounced between regions that are far away from each other while there is no …

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 …
