Abstract

The goal of this paper is to distinguish among alternatives convergence hypothesis from the foremost procedures proposed. Besides, empirical evidence is reviewed.

Although each procedure is used nowadays, researchers seem to be keen on spatial techniques to include those phenomenons arising from spatial dependence such as threshold and externalities.
