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 …

This paper expands the analysis developed by Ellery Jr. (1994), who estimated the income convergence among Brazilian … states from 1970 to 1990. The methodology is based on the convergence model proposed by Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1992) and is … applied to test both the beta-convergence and the sigma-convergence. For the period after 1990, and sub-periods, the effects …
