Resumen de Convergence and soccer

Stefan Szymanski

• The article offers an analysis of the convergence in national team soccer results. It examines the convergence in the results of national soccer teams between 1950 and 2010. It explores the reasons finding convergence in national soccer team results is easier than finding convergence in gross domestic product (GDP). Information on the convergence hypothesis, a result of the neoclassical growth theory, is presented.
