In this paper we outline (i) why ó-convergence may not accompany â- convergence, (ii)cite evidence of â-convergence in … the U.S., (iii) and use USA county-level data containing over 3,000 cross-sectional observations to demonstrate that ó-convergence …

We use county data with 3,058 observations to study growth and convergence in the US. We assess the effect of 40 … convergence rates around 2 percent, but 3SLS yields 6–8 percent; (2) convergence rates vary across the U.S. E.g., Southern …

Convergence tests implicitly test the unit root hypothesis for per capita income. Although the statistics do not have …

convergence rate across the U.S. is about 7 percent per year – higher than the 2 percent normally found with OLS in cross …-country, U.S. state, and European region samples. Estimated convergence rates for 32 individual states are above 2 percent with … an average of 8.1 percent. For 29 states the convergence rate is above 2 percent with 95 percent confidence.
