Abstract
This paper considers the issue of converging or diverging growth paths in a long-run perspective. In particular, available data are explored in order to investigate whether or not the convergence trend observed since the ending of the Second World War also holds for earlier time periods. The data are used to illustrate some theoretical insights on the question as to what determines convergence or divergence trends. A brief historical interpretation of the results is presented.
