For this purpose, three recently developed panel unit root tests that permit for dependence among the individual countries are employed. The results lend strong support in favor of convergence for the panel as a whole. Estimates of the speed of this convergence is also provided. 2007-05-16 MPRA Paper NonPeerReviewed application/pdf en https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/3262/1/MPRA_paper_3262.pdf Westerlund, Joakim and Basher, Syed A.
