Patent Club Convergence among Countries
The article uncovers profound empirical and conceptual shortcomings concerning the "one-size-fits-all" innovation and intellectual property-related policies used internationally. These policies surely are funneled by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the TRIPS Agreement or the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)'s archetypical Development Agenda. The article offers a novel deli...
متن کاملConvergence in Income Inequality: Further Evidence from the Club Clustering Methodology across the U.S. States
This paper contributes to the sparse literature on inequality convergence by empirically testing convergence across the U.S. States. This sample period encompasses a series of different periods that are discussed in the existing literature -the Great Depression (19291944), the Great Compression (1945-1979), the Great Divergence (1980-present), the Great Moderation (1982-2007), and the Great Rec...

Based on recent developments in the economic growth literature we propose and test the hypothesis that health care expenditures in countries of similar economic development level may converge. We hypothesise that the main drivers for growth in health care costs include: aging popul...
متن کاملCountry and Industry Convergence of Equity Markets: International Evidence from Club Convergence and Clustering
Abstract. This study employs the panel convergence methodology developed by Phillips and Sul (2007) to explore the convergence dynamics of international equity markets. The analysis considers both country and industry effects. While traditional portfolio management strategies usually follow a top-down procedure, assuming that country-level effects drive financial aggregates (e.g., stock returns...
متن کاملOn the Use of Panel Stationarity Tests in Convergence Analysis : Empirical Evidence for the EU Countries
The study examines the concept of stochastic convergence in the EU28 countries over the 1994–2013 period. The convergence of individual countries’ GDP per capita towards the EU28 average per capita income level and the pairwise convergence between the GDP of individual countries are both analyzed. Additionally, we introduce our own concept of conditional stochastic convergence which is based on...
