Testing the convergence hypothesis for OECD countries: a reappraisal
Abstract This paper reviews the results of a number of empirical studies of convergence among the OECD countries and discusses some limitations of these studies. Moreover, the paper tries to deal with these limitations by presenting a new and more appropriate methodology: quantile regressions. The results obtained with this specification

Testing the Convergence Hypothesis in the European Union [PDF]
The main objective of this study is to measure the degree of convergence in European Union- 28 (EU-28) in the period from 1995 to 2012. The catch-up rates diminished for many countries in the period from 2008 to 2012, because of the negative effect of ...

Diverging evidence of convergence hypothesis
Abstract Conventional tests of convergence hypothesis using linear cross-country growth regressions often report favorable evidence consistent with the hypothesis, namely, poor countries growing at a faster rate than the rich ones so that the differences in the levels of per-capita income disappear over time.

Convergence of metadynamics: Discussion of the adiabatic hypothesis [PDF]
By drawing a parallel between metadynamics and self interacting models for polymers, we study the longtime convergence of the original metadynamics algorithm in the adiabatic setting, namely when the dynamics along the collective variables decouples from the dynamics along the other degrees of freedom.

An Empirical Analysis of Convergence Hypothesis [PDF]
A useful contribution of wide ranging debate in the growth literature is that it has put forward a number of testable hypotheses. One of such hypotheses is known as the convergence hypothesis whereby it is postulated that in the long run developing countries would catch-up with the developed countries in terms of per capita ...

Quick and Complete Convergence in the Law of Large Numbers with Applications to Statistics
In the first part of this article, we discuss and generalize the complete convergence introduced by Hsu and Robbins in 1947 to the r-complete convergence introduced by Tartakovsky in 1998.
