Furthermore, we evaluate convergence or divergence in income growth and if it is … per capita GDP and per capita R&D investment. It follows the convergence analysis and conclusions. To study the spatial …

In this paper we outline (i) why sigma-convergence may not accompany beta-convergence, (ii) discuss evidence of beta-convergence … sigma-convergence has not occurred at the county-level across the U.S., or within the vast majority of the individual U …

We intend to evaluate convergence or divergence in income growth and test … empirically the theoretical hypothesis that ?-convergence, although necessary, is not a sufficient condition for ?-convergence.
