Sigma-convergence of semilinear stochastic wave equations [PDF]
We address the homogenization of a semilinear hyperbolic stochastic partial differential equation with highly oscillating coefficients, in the context of ergodic algebras with mean value.

TESTING SIGMA CONVERGENCE ACROSS EU-28 [PDF]
. The main goal of this research is to assess the degree of convergence in European Union- 28 (EU-28) during 2000-2012. After a spatial analysis of macroeconomic indicators using maps and graphs that were built in GeoDa, the sigma convergence was tested.

Conditional Beta- and Sigma-Convergence in Space: A Maximum Likelihood Approach [PDF]
Empirical work on regional growth under spatial spillovers uses two workhorse models: the spatial Solow model and Verdoorn's model. This paper contrasts these two views on regional growth processes and demonstrates that in a spatial setting the speed of convergence is heterogenous in both considered models, depending on the remoteness and the income ...

Sigma and beta convergence in regional mortality: A case study of the Netherlands [PDF]
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 and Sigma Convergence: Evidence from Indonesian District-Level Data
In this paper, we describe three things, (1) Evidence of Beta -convergence’s existence in Indonesian districts-level data, (2) the reason of why Sigma -convergence may not accompany Beta -convergence, and (3) the demonstration to show that Sigma ...

Sigma Convergence Versus Beta Convergence: Evidence from U.S. County-Level Data [PDF]
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 ...

This study aims to determine the occurrence of convergence in inclusive economic growth at both the national and regional levels, as well as the factors that drive the increase in inclusive economic growth to reduce regional disparities.

Income Dispersion and Sigma Convergence in South-South-Agreement Areas
Some of the new trade and economic geography theory findings are quite critical concerning the so called South-South-agreements. Main criticisms are that they would lead to increasing income disparity by similar production structures, agglomeration and trade diversion at the expense of the poorest regions, etc.

Bulgarian NUTS2 Regions’ Beta- and Sigma- Convergence Towards the Eurozone
In this scientific article Bulgarian regional economic convergence has been investigated in the 2000 – 2018 period. Beta- and sigma-convergence tests have been performed on Bulgarian regional data using level 2 Nomenclature of Territorial Units for ...
