Regional convergence in Finnish provinces and subregions, 1960-94 [PDF]
This paper analyses regional productivity convergence in Finland using two different data sets. Firstly, absolute and conditional convergence was estimated in the 12 Finnish provinces during 1960-94.

A Bayesian model of distance perception from ocular convergence.
Ocular convergence is one of the critical cues from which to estimate the absolute distance to objects in the world, because unlike most other distance cues a one-to-one mapping exists between absolute distance and ocular convergence.

Convergence of Income across Pennsylvania Counties [PDF]
The neoclassical growth model implies that if two economies have the same preferences and technology, the poorer country will tend to grow faster in per capita terms.

Is There Enough Evidence Against Absolute Convergence? [PDF]
This paper analyzes whether or not the econometric methods usually applied to test for absolute convergence have provided this hypothesis a fair. I show that traditional (absolute and conditional) convergence tests are not consistent with even the ...

A Differentiation Test for Absolute Convergence
In this note, we describe a new test which provides a necessary and sufficient condition for absolute convergence of infinite series. The test is based solely on differentiation and is very easy to apply.

The evolution of real disparities in Portugal among the NUTS III regions. An empirical analysis based on the convergence approach. [PDF]
The aim of this paper is to explain regional convergence in Portugal, at Nuts III level, in terms of per capita income and productivity. In doing so, we employ an alternative estimation approach based on panel data analysis that allows for individual ...

A Relaxation Iteration Method with Three Parameters for Solving Absolute Value Equation
In this paper, a new matrix splitting iteration method is presented to solve the absolute value equation. The proposed method has three parameters, and it is expected that its convergence efficiency can be improved by selecting appropriate parameters ...

Trade, growth, and convergence in a dynamic Heckscher-Ohlin model [PDF]
In models in which convergence in income levels across closed countries is driven by faster accumulation of a productive factor in the poorer countries, opening these countries to trade can stop convergence and even cause divergence.
