Los resultados sugieren que la β-Convergencia absoluta existe en los distritos durante 1993-2012 en el sector terciario. Para la σ-convergencia a través de los distritos, se descubrió que los ingresos per cápita del sector terciario a través de los distritos no convergieron durante el período. Por lo tanto, al dar asistencia adicional a estos distritos atrasados, estas regiones seguramente pueden amplificar su velocidad de alcanzar los distritos más ricos del estado y del país en su conjunto.Abstract:This study tests for the presence of both absolute β-convergence (where initially poorer districts tend to grow at a faster rate than initially richer districts) and σ-convergence (where dispersion across the districts reduces with time) across the districts of Odisha with respect to the tertiary sector during the period of 1993-2012. The results of the study suggest that absolute β-convergence exists across the districts during 1993-2012 with regard to the tertiary sector and it is also significant. This implies that the initially poorer districts of Odisha on account of income from the services sub-sectors have displayed growth rates which are faster than that by the initially richer districts during the study period. However on checking for σ-convergence across the districts, it was found that the per capita income from the tertiary sector across the districts did not converge over the period, rather the disparity level (measured by SD, Gini coefficient and Theil index) had escalated and the results were significant at 1 percent level of significance. Thus the objective of the study was achieved by examining the presence of disparity in the tertiary sector across the districts of Odisha and analyzing the existence of convergence at the district-level during the period of 1993-2012. This study can be used to identify those backward districts of Odisha which require additional policy intervention for the development of infrastructure to aid the tertiary sector to flourish. By giving additional assistance to these backward districts, these regions can surely amplify their speed of catch up with the richer districts of the state and the country as a whole.
