Detecting Technological Catch‐Up in Economic Convergence [PDF]
Metroeconomica, 2002 We address the problem of measuring, in the absence of reliable indices of technology levels, how much of the convergence we observe is due to convergence in technology or in capital–labour ratios. We first develop a growth model where technology accumulation in lagging economies depends on their propensity to innovate and on technological spillovers ...

The Master Equation and the Convergence Problem in Mean Field Games [PDF]
, 2015 This book describes the latest advances in the theory of mean field games, which are optimal control problems with a continuum of players, each of them interacting with the whole statistical distribution of a population. While it originated in economics,

Economic convergence and polarisation: towards a multi-dimensional approach
Hungarian Geographical Bulletin, 2015 The current increase of regional inequalities in Europe, and in particular in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has led to the reconsideration and revival of the concepts of "polarisation" and "convergence" in academic fields like regional economics ...

Supply-Demand-Based Optimization: A Novel Economics-Inspired Algorithm for Global Optimization
IEEE Access, 2019 A novel metaheuristic optimization algorithm, named supply-demand-based optimization (SDO), is presented in this paper. SDO is a swarm-based optimizer motivated by the supply-demand mechanism in economics.

Multiparameter extrapolation and deflation methods for solving equation systems
International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1984 Most models in economics and the applied sciences are solved by first order iterative techniques, usually those based on the Gauss-Seidel algorithm.

Galton's fallacy and economic convergence
Oxford Economic Papers, 1999 The term 'Galton's fallacy' has more than one meaning. Usages of the term starting with Francis Galton are reviewed. Recently the term has been used to denote problems encountered when the neoclassical convergence model is tested in a cross-section of country GNP histories (Barrow-Baumol regressions). M. Friedman and D.

Empirics for economic growth and convergence [PDF]
European Economic Review, 1996 The convergence hypothesis has generated a huge empirical literature: this paper critically reviews some of the earlier key findings, clarifies their implications, and relates them to more recent results. Particular attention is devoted to interpreting convergence empirics.

On the Mechanics of Economic Convergence [PDF]
German Economic Review, 2006 Abstract The speed at which an economy converges to its steady state is investigated by using a general non-scale R&D-based growth model. To accomplish this task, an analytical decomposition formula for the instantaneous rate of convergence is developed.

Convergence and determinants of health expenditures in OECD countries
Health Economics Review, 2017 This study examines the trend and determinants of health expenditures in OECD countries over the 1975-2004 period. Based on recent developments in the economic growth literature we propose and test the hypothesis that health care expenditures in ...
