โœฆ Synopsis

In this paper, we test the convergence hypothesis in a cross-section of 119 countries by means of bootstrap multimodality tests and nonparametric density estimation techniques. By looking at the density distribution of GDP across countries in 1970, 1980 and 1989, we ยฎnd low mobility patterns of intra-distribution dynamics and increasing evidence for bimodality. The ยฎndings stand in sharp contrast with the convergence prediction.

Consider data on two groups of clusters, where each cluster consists of many units that respond on an ordinal scale. We develop a Mann-Whitney type test to determine whether a typical response from the first group is larger (or smaller) than a typical response from the second group.
