We demonstrate that two popular measures of inequality related to the discussion of sigma -convergence lead to different conclusions when used on data from Penn World Table. The reason is that the measures assign different weights to individual countries' growth performance. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
