Add to ORKGThe neoclassical growth model implies that if two economies have the same preferences and technology, the poorer economy will tend to grow faster in per capita terms. The relatively homogenous counties of Pennsylvania provide an excellent test of the model’s prediction of convergence in living standards. But, there is no evidence of either unconditional convergence of income among Pennsylvania counties or convergence conditional on investment and population growth rates. Convergence is detected when the rate of human capital accumulation is added to the model. The speed of convergence is about 1.3 percent a year
