,' Significance at the 1, 5 and 10% level is signaled by ***, ** and *, respectively.

b Spatial Autoregressive parameter of the spatial error model.

c In percentage points per year. The convergence rate equals 100 × (ln(⅛+l))/-T, where b is the estimated coefficient for the GDP per capita level in 1963, and T
the length of the 1963—1997 time period.

dJarque Bera test for normality of the errors.

e Breusch-Pagan test with random coefficients as the alternative hypothesis.

f Chow-Wald test for stability of coefficients across regimes.

ɛ IND means the convergence rate could not be calculated because the estimated coefficient of the initial GDP per capita (in absolute value) is greater than one.
