Nonlinear time-series convergence: The role of structural breaks

King, Alan; Ramlogan-Dobson, Carlyn

Abstract

Chong et al. (2008) found only limited support for the income convergence hypothesis among 15 OECD nations using a nonlinear unit root test. We find considerably greater evidence of convergence by allowing for breaks in the test's time trend. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
