摘要
A time-series test procedure related to the question of catching-up - or periods characterized by different rates of convergence - is introduced. Based on 1950-2000 data for real GDP per capita, the majority of 20 OECD countries are found to catch-up and converge towards the USA. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
