Abstract

Regional convergence of per capita incomes and per capita earnings in Missouri is studied for the period, 1980-2007, as well as for selected subperiods. Convergence as measured by the coefficient of variation in per capita income and per capita earnings has been modest at best from 1980 to 2007 in Missouri counties. The evidence indicates that conditional ?-convergence has likely ceased in Missouri counties since 2000, and perhaps earlier. This is true whether per capital income or per capita earnings is used as the measure of regional welfare.
