In this project we study sigma and beta convergence in terms of economic growth and
productivity of some representative countries of three continents: Asia, Europe and
America from 1960 to 2011. For this purpose we first revise briefly the economic
growth theories which will help us to understand the concept of convergence. After
that, we focus on the empirical analysis using data from Penn World Tables, both for
GDP and total factor productivity during the period studied. We present and discuss the
empirical results for sigma and beta convergence, first in terms of GDP and for
productivity separated by continents. Finally we study the correlation between per
capita GDP and productivity. We conclude that convergence has increased in some
periods and decrease in others. Moreover, the differences among continents persist
and there is a high degree of heterogeneity in the patterns of growth in GDP and
productivity. [-]
