Sigma and beta convergence in regional mortality: A case study of the Netherlands [PDF]
Demographic Research, 2016 Background: For allocation of health budgets it is important to know whether regional mortality differences tend to decline or to increase. Sigma convergence tests can measure whether the dispersion of the regional distribution of mortality has declined.

The Beta‑Convergence of the EU–10 Countries and Regions in the Years 2004–2015
Comparative Economic Research, 2019 The article analyzes the beta‑convergence of the EU–10 countries and the EU–15 for 2004 and 2015 at four levels – the state, NUTS 1, NUTS 2 and NUTS 3. The strongest beta‑convergence is at the level of the EU–10 countries; however, the lower the level of

A simple measure of beta-convergence revisited [PDF]
Urban Studies, 2020 Convergence among regions to long-run, non-zero income differentials is predicted by mainstream and alternative spatial theories. A variety of convergence, considered by Sala-i-Martin, focuses on the rank order over time.

Fractional) Beta Convergence [PDF]
Journal of Monetary Economics, 2000 Abstract Unit roots in output, an exponential 2% rate of convergence and no change in the underlying dynamics of output seem to be three stylized facts that cannot go together. This paper extends the Solow–Swan growth model allowing for cross-sectional heterogeneity.

Myths about Beta-Convergence [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 A popular methodology of studying spatial income inequality is analysis of beta-convergence (i.e. an inverse relationship between current income per capita and its initial level). Its widespread use is based on a belief that the economic growth theory predicts income convergence among economies (countries or regions within a country), and that beta ...

A Note on Interpreting the Beta-Convergence Effect
Economics Letters, 2013 This note elaborates on a potential misinterpretation of the convergence speeds that are associated with the beta-convergence effect. Practitioners and certain researchers often commit the common error of using the results from the logarithmic measure of

ANALYSIS OF CONVERGENCE WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION SIGMA AND BETA CONVERGENCE [PDF]
Annals of the University of Oradea: Economic Science, 2010 Real convergence study began with the development of neoclassical models of growth and especially with the passage of econometric applications of these models. In this paper we present applications of indicators and patterns of convergence on the example
