Slow growth and slow convergence in sub-Saharan Africa

Applied Economics Letters, 2013, vol. 20, issue 4, 377-381

Abstract: We expand on the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)--Rest of World (ROW) growth difference literature and find a robust and consistently negative coefficient of an SSA dummy variable over the period 1965 to 2000. Most importantly, we find that SSA countries converge more slowly, if at all, than ROW countries.
