African Development: Beyond Income Convergence

African Development: Beyond Income Convergence

In examining some big questions on African development, we provide evidence that dynamics of some development indicators could support both endogenous and neoclassical growth theories in the convergence debate. This paper investigates convergence in real per capita GDP and inequality adjusted human development in 38 African countries, disaggregated into 10 homogenous panels based on regions (Su...

Estimates of a spatial lag model provide support for the conditional convergence hypothesis and explain ...

In this article, I suggest that calculus instruction should include a wider variety of examples of convergent and divergent series than is usually demonstrated. In particular, a number of convergent series, such as ∑ k≥1 k3 2k , are considered, and their exact values are found in a straightforward manner. We explore and utilize a number of mathematical topics, including manipulation of certain ...
