Abstract

This paper attempts to ascertain which of the convergence hypotheses – absolute, conditional or club – best describes the dynamics of the Brazilian municipalities income over the period 1970-2000. The results based on the regression tree method and on robustness tests demonstrate the importance of initial conditions on the determination of municipalities income growth rate, which suggests the dominance of the club convergence hypothesis over the other two.
