Galtonian regression across countries and the convergence of productivity

Article Abstract:

The Galtonian regression model is used to determine if different economies converge in their productivity levels over time. The model showed that classification of labor productivity growth is similar to the use of direct regression rather than inappropriate reverse regression in bivariate distribution. Countries must be classified according to initial productivity levels with preference to logarithmic transformation.
