We study the local convergence of a method presented by Cordero et al. of convergence order at least five to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation. These studies show the convergence under hypotheses ...

This document tests whether there has been convergence in the percapita income across regions in Colombia between 1990 and 2015. It also discusses the role of war in that context and tests for the existence of convergence ...

The paper analyses the convergence process of Ecuadorian cantons during the period 2007-2012 accounting for the role of spatial spillovers through using spatial econometrics. The advantage of this technique is to provide ...

We study the local convergence of Chebyshev–Halley methods with six and eight order of convergence to approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation. In Sharma (2015) (see Theorem 1, p. 121) the convergence ...

The objective of this paper is to study economic regional convergence in Argentina, Brazil, and Peru using the methodology of Barro and Sala-i-Martin. Even though the regional data on those countries are not as rich as ...
