A Simple Measure of Beta-Convergence

Gerard Boyle and Thomas Mccarthy

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, 1997, vol. 59, issue 2, 257-64

Abstract: The authors propose a simple measure of beta-convergence which is not subject to Galton's fallacy. They illustrate with OECD data for the period 1950-88. The authors find evidence of beta-convergence but only in the presence of sigma-convergence. Copyright 1997 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd
