Abstract

Within a multilateral monitoring framework, EMCCA countries have been pursuing the process of macroeconomic convergence since 1994. In this context, this paper seeks to illustrate if that process is economic growth-enhancing. To achieve this objective, use is made of an augmented Solow growth model. Results show that the implementation of the convergence criteria registered no significant effect on economic growth among member countries. These findings were largely attributable to the high degree of heterogeneity among EMCCA economies. Restructuring the existing multilateral monitoring mechanisms, with this in mind, would unleash the desired economic growth impact. Codes JEL: C33, C36, F020, O55.
