This book introduces a modern framework to study the cross-country convergence dynamics in labor productivity and its proximate sources: capital accumulation and aggregate efficiency. In particular, recent convergence dynamics of developed as well as developing countries are evaluated through the lens of a non-linear dynamic factor model and a clustering algorithm for panel data. This framework allows us to examine key economic phenomena such as technological heterogeneity and multiple equilibria. In this context, the book provides a succinct review of the recent club convergence literature, a comparative view of developed and developing countries, and a tutorial on how to implement the club convergence framework in the statistical software Stata. 000946119 650_0 $$aEconomic development. 000946119 650_0 $$aDevelopment economics. 000946119 650_0 $$aEconomic history. 000946119 650_0 $$aMacroeconomics. 000946119 650_0 $$aStatistics. 000946119 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9811586284$$z9789811586286$$w(OCoLC)1182852053 000946119 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in Economics Ser. 000946119 852__ $$bebk 000946119 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-15-8629-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000946119 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:946119$$pGLOBAL_SET 000946119 980__ $$aEBOOK 000946119 980__ $$aBIB 000946119 982__ $$aEbook 000946119 983__ $$aOnline 000946119 994__ $$a92$$bISE
