This paper proposes a pair-wise approach to testing for output convergence that considers all N(N-1)/2 possible pairs … of log per capita output gaps across N economies. A general probabilistic definition of output convergence is also … support output convergence and suggest that the findings of convergence clubs in the literature might be spurious. However …
