Economic Growth: Sigma and Beta Convergence Processes Worldwide

2023
The economic growth process worldwide has been subject to several disturbances with different origins. These disruptions have consequences on the economic dynamics of the countries with impacts on human living conditions and the efforts for more sustainable development.

Beta-convergence Theory of L-fuzzy Nets and its Applications

2009 Sixth International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery, 2009
The convergence theory not only is a significantly basic theory of fuzzy topology and fuzzy analysis but also has wide applications in fuzzy inference and some other aspects. In this paper, the β-convergence theory of L-fuzzy ideals is explored by the concept of β-remote-neighborhood, and the relationships of L-fuzzy ideals and L-fuzzy nets are ...

Fast Last-Iterate Convergence of SGD in the Smooth Interpolation Regime

Neural Information Processing Systems
We study population convergence guarantees of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) for smooth convex objectives in the interpolation regime, where the noise at optimum is zero or near zero.

A note on the use of quantile regression in beta convergence analysis [PDF]

Economics Bulletin, 2007
We discuss how to interpret conflicting results obtained by the use of quantile regression methods in growth regression tests of β-convergence hypothesis and the results obtained by nonparametric methods. We show that the assumption of linearity may cause the non-rejection of the β-convergence hypothesis by quantile regression.

Sigma and beta convergence in three continents

2015
In this project we study sigma and beta convergence in terms of economic growth and productivity of some representative countries of three continents: Asia, Europe and America from 1960 to 2011. For this purpose we first revise briefly the economic growth theories which will help us to understand the concept of convergence.

The Beta-convergence Analysis and Regional Disparities in EU-28 [PDF]

, 2014
The main objective of this research is to analyse the beta-convergence in European Union (EU-28), showing the regional income disparities. There was a faster increase of GDP per capita in poor economies in the period from 2001 to 2012. The absolute convergence was assessed using the approach based on spatial lag dependence.

Testing for Stochastic and Beta-convergence in Latin American Countries [PDF]

, 2011
This paper uses time-series data from nineteen Latin American countries and the U.S. to test for income convergence using two existing definitions of convergence and a new testable definition of β-convergence. Only Dominican Republic and Paraguay were found to pair-wise converge according to the Bernard and Durlauf (1995) definition.

Sigma Convergence Versus Beta Convergence: Evidence from County-level Data [PDF]

, 2003
This note outlines: 1) Why sigma-convergence may not accompany beta-convergence; 2) Cites evidence of beta-convergence in the U.S.; 3) Demonstrates that sigma-convergence does not hold across the U.S. or within most U.S. states; and 4) Demonstrates the robustness of this finding to increases in mean income.
