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.

Beta convergence in the export volumes in EU countries
European Journal of Business Science and Technology, 2016 This paper investigates the β -convergence in the trade volumes of EU countries. We focus on a different approach to convergence analysis, namely trade's contribution to convergence.

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.

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

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 ...

Beyond Beta-Convergence: Convergence in Differences and its Application to the Russian Regions
International Journal of Economics and Finance, 2020 The purpose of this paper is to propose a new empirical model capable of highlighting some aspects of cross-economy convergence which cannot be caught by the popular beta-convergence and sigma-convergence models.

Sigma Convergence Versus Beta Convergence: Evidence from U.S. County-Level Data [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003 In this paper, we outline (i) why σ‐convergence may not accompany β‐convergence, (ii) discuss evidence of β‐convergence in the United States, and (iii) use U.S. county‐level data containing over 3,000 cross‐sectional observations to demonstrate that σ‐convergence cannot be detected at the county level across the United States, or within the large ...

Boletim da Sociedade Paranaense de Matemática, 2022 In this paper, we introduce strong $N_{\alpha }^{\beta }(\theta ,A,F)-$convergence and $S_{\alpha }^{\beta }(\theta ,A,F)-$% convergence with respect to a sequence of modulus functions and give some connections between strongly $N_{\alpha }^{\beta }(\theta ,A,F)-$convergent sequences and $S_{\alpha }^{\beta }(\theta ,A,F)-$convergent sequences for $% 0&
