Abstract

The study presents a systematic literature review with bibliometric analysis of the existing literature on convergence hypothesis sourced from the Scopus database over two decades spanning 2000 to 2020. Literature review based on year, source, affiliation, country, and contributing authors is done, along with bibliographic coupling, thematic evaluation and content analysis. Findings suggest that the existing literature mainly focuses on the developed world for examining convergence and its implications. This reflects a severe lacuna as the research on convergence with emerging economies as a focal point is meagre. In conclusions, the authors suggest ways to deal with this critical research gap.
