On Testing Conditional Sigma – Convergence*

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, 2009
AbstractIn a cross‐section where the initial distribution of observations differs from the steady‐state distribution and initial values matter, convergence is best measured in terms of σ‐convergence over a fixed time period. For this setting, we propose a new simple Wald test for conditional σ‐convergence. According to our Monte Carlo simulations, this

Sigma convergence in Hungarian agriculture

2008
The present paper provides an analysis of agricultural sigma convergence in four old Member States and in Hungary. The analysis was derived from the output and input data from the Economic Accounts for Agriculture between 1990-2005. The results obtained indicate significant convergence in the old Member States and Hungary.

Income Dispersion and Sigma Convergence in South-South-Agreement Areas

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
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.

TETING SIGMA CONVERGENCE ACROSS NEW EU MEMBERS [PDF]

open access: possibleRevista Economica, 2013
Even though the issue of convergence between the member states of European Union is an extremely debated subject nowadays, the existing disparities continue to persist and even accentuate. Furthermore the economists and researchers in the field are interested to analyze whether the rich economies will continue to develop and at what speed on one side ...
