Using the Solow framework, explain the economic forces behind the convergence of output per person. Then, use the Penn World Table Version 10 (PWT 10.0) to ex- amine if convergence holds in the data (see instructions below). Does convergence of output per person hold for countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)? What about Asian countries and African countries? What might be the reasons why a particular group of countries fails to converge in output per person? [8 marks]

data work is done below.
