Empirical evidence yields no clear answer concerning which hypothesis is correct.

First, empirical evidence shows that convergence of per capita income between lagging and leading regions is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for achieving poverty reduction and social convergence.

There is scant empirical evidence for this set of conditions, because such cases were rare until recently.

Second, empirical evidence is rarely reliable enough to settle decisively a controversy characterized by deeply divided opinion.
