RT Generic T1 Divergence, convergence, and the history-augmented Solow model A1 Kufenko,Vadim A1 Prettner,Klaus A1 Geloso,Vincent WP 2017/07/10 AB We test the history-augmented Solow model with respect to its predictions on the patterns of divergence and convergence between the nowadays industrialized countries of the OECD. We show that the dispersion of incomes increased after the Indus- trial Revolution, peaked during the Second World War, and decreased afterwards. This pattern is fully consistent with the transitional dynamics implied by the history-augmented Solow model.
