Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyse the impact of technology on the transition of countries from low and middle income paths to higher income paths, and the exit from the middle and low income trap and bring about the economic convergence. To achieve the objective of this study, a sample of 105 economically different countries was chosen, then building a logistic regression model during the period (1990-2018).
