Abstract: | Friedman (1992) argues that regressing cross-country income changes on their final levels can be informative about o-convergence (the tendency for the dispersion of income levels to narrow) whereas a similar regression on initial levels of income cannot be. The authors of the present article show that Bliss's (1999) dismissal of this argument is in error. |
