A convergence model with wealth accumulation subject to i.i.d. random shocks is examined. The transfer function shows … econometric theory of time series. Economic theory forces consideration of a broad range of cases, including some which violate B-convergence …

In this paper we present a general result concerning the convergence to stochastic integrals with non-linear integrands …

The paper takes into account both the concerns of the EU, arguing that convergence is incomplete, and the demands from … accession countries, claiming that monetary integration is optimal. Indicators are developed which measure convergence and … benefits from monetary integration. The more serious problem is a lack of convergence which could imply serious risks during …
