Abstract
A nonparametric stochastic kernel and Markov transition probability matrixes are used in this paper to investigate the per capita personal income distribution and how it evolved over the period 1950 - 2000 across the 59 provinces and states in the U.S. and Canada. Empirical evidence confirms club convergence (multi-modality) of the per capita personal income levels across the provinces and states in the U.S. and Canada over the entire study period.
