Abstract
In various studies, growth has been seen as a function of labor and capital, These two factors account for about 50 percent of economic growth. On the other hand, growth endogeneity is an issue raised by Romer et al. The present article examines the process of per capita income convergence in a set of 16 border provinces of the country for the period 2000-2019 with special attention to the role of social capital as a preparatory factor by the data panel method. According to the results, convergence is a function of factors such as accumulation of human capital, accumulation of physical capital and social capital. Different dimensions of social capital have different growth effects based on the level of development of the border province. Therefore 1- Trust (inverse per capita number of lawsuits related to issuing misplaced checks, embezzlement and bribery). 2. Participation (turnout rate) also controls different stable states between countries. The per capita income growth rate coefficient in the last 5 years is meaningless and since the convergence coefficient is not significant, as a result of this model is not convergent and there is always a stable difference in terms of per capita income between the border provinces of Iran. And the current levels of human, social and physical capital cannot be effective in reducing the difference in income levels of border provinces.
