Testing Regional Convergence in Iran's Economy

Convergence hypothesis is one of the results of neoclassical growth model, which has been examined recently. This hypothesis has two forms of absolute and conditional Beta-convergence and implies that regions with lower per capita output have higher per capita growth rates.

Old and New Multidimensional Convergence Accelerators

In the past some multidimensional convergence accelerators have been studied by Levin [13], by Albertsen, Jacobsen and Sorensen [l] and by the author [5]. We show here that all these multidimensional convergence accelerators are particular cases of a whole class of multidimensional convergence accelerators. The common underlying principle is that they can be considered as multivariate Pad& appr...
