Convergence clubs among Brazilian municipalities

In this paper, we test the convergence hypothesis across Brazilian municipalities in Brazil from 1970 to 1996 using Quahs [Scand. J. Econ. 95 (4) (1993) 427; J. Econ. Growth 2 (1997) 27] methodology which is based on the dynamics of cross-section distributions of economies incomes. Our empirical investigation suggests that there is no convergence across Brazilian municipalities, or in other words, that there is formation of convergence clubs
