convergence

Test whether poorer countries are catching up to richer ones using beta and sigma convergence analysis with Penn World Tables 10.0 data in Stata

Reproduce the key findings of Kremer, Willis, and You (2021) to understand why unconditional convergence emerged since 2000 and how the convergence of growth correlates explains this shift

The book provides a succinct review of the recent club convergence literature, a comparative view of developed and developing countries, and a tutorial on how to implement the club convergence framework in Stata and R.

An introduction to the Solow growth model and its convergence prediction

This paper evaluates social and economic convergence across 514 districts in Indonesia over the 2010-2018 period.

This article studies the evolution of per-capita income disparities and spatial dependence across 77 provinces of Thailand over the period 1995–2017.

This paper studies the evolution of economic and social disparities across subnational regions in South America using simple spatial convergence models.

We study sectoral productivity convergence in Japan through the input-output structure of the economy and its network representation.

This book introduces a modern framework to study the cross-country convergence dynamics of labor productivity and its proximate sources: capital accumulation and aggregate efficiency.

Across ASEAN regions, almost 60 percent of the differences in GDP per capita can be predicted by a luminosity-based measure of GDP. Based on this measure, regional inequality within most countries has not significantly decreased, spatial dependence is increasing, and spatial clusters (hotspots and coldspots) cross multiple national boundaries.
