over time. Statistical tests of convergence show that the variation in R&D intensities does not decrease over time (i.e. no … ơ-convergence), although firms with an R&D intensity below the industry average do seem to catch up with the leaders (i ….e. evidence of β-convergence). Overall, firms in the same industry do not converge to a common R&D intensity. Policy implications …
