Abstract: This paper explores the role of constitutional constraints and economic freedom in determining economic convergence. We use a data set of 20 constitutional and economic freedom variables for 109 countries from 1960 to 1990. Our results show the importance of considering the role of governmentally determined institutions in the convergence debate.
