Abstract

Texts of the convergence hypothesis or the tendency for per capita income levels to narrow over time have generally utilized cross-sectional data and have usually found conflicting evidence. In this study, the authors utilize time-series data on Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States for the period 1870-1992 and time-series tests to consider both 'catching-up' and 'long-run convergence.' The paper finds evidence in favor of long-run convergence in per capita income levels for the United Kingdom and Australia for the period 1892-1992 and catching-up in the case of the United Kingdom and the United States, and Australia and the United States, giving some support for the exogenous approaches to economic growth.
