%T Are US regional incomes converging? A nonlinear perspective %A Christopoulos, Dimitris %A Tsionas, Mike %J Regional Studies %N 4 %P 525-530 %V 41 %D 2007 %= 2010-09-07T16:24:00Z %~ http://www.peerproject.eu/ %> https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:0168-ssoar-132905 %X This article deviates from the current practice of regional convergence by allowing output convergence to follow a non-linear process. In this scenario all standard linear unit root tests have low power, thus frequently leading to misguided conclusions. In light of this we adopt a unit root test based on a non-linear model which tests the null hypothesis of a unit root against a non-linear alternative. Our findings overwhelmingly support the tendency of US regions to converge over time. %C GBR %G en %9 journal article %W GESIS - http://www.gesis.org %~ SSOAR - http://www.ssoar.info
