Abstract

Several works verify the hypothesis of income convergence for Brazilian regions. However, income inequality's persistence can still be verified. In this context, using the methodology of Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), this study aims to analyze the local income convergence among the Brazilians areas (AMCs). The main results indicate multiple equilibria hypotheses. But, in a more sophisticated manner than convergence clubs analysis, local analysis results indicate that each AMC would be converging to its specific steady state.
