Abstract
This paper develops a method to re-examine β-convergence empirically by using panel data. First, a sampling of countries is conducted, according to the stage of economic growth, for production function estimation, and countries are divided into the following three subsamples: a high initial income subsample, a low initial income and high growth rate subsample, and a low initial income and low growth rate subsample. Second, we estimate a convergence process for each subsample. The coefficient restrictions in the Solow model were maintained only for the low initial income and high growth rate subsample. J. Japan.
