Abstract
⺠We test the hypothesis of inequality convergence among 48 contiguous states in US. ⺠Inequality convergence is not supported by conventional panel unit root tests. ⺠Inequality convergence is found with more advanced panel unit root tests. ⺠The result is robust to various sensitivity analyses.
