Talk:Convergence (economics)

i think they incorrectly use the concept of sigma and beta convergence. What they label as sigma convergence is in fact unconditional beta convergence and what they label as beta convergence is in fact conditional beta convergence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.56.19.29 (talk) 06:00, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

poorly worded
This article is poorly worded, and poorly organized. It portrays criticism of the theory as though it was part of the theory. It misused terms such as technology as technology in economic terms pertains to the knowledge and processes used in production not to physical assets as is implied in the article.

"A long term view could be added here to illustrate the convergence process, with a graph such as the one in pages 12, 13 and 20 of https://www.banque-france.fr/uploads/tx_bdfdocumentstravail/DT-549_01.pdf"

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.
