ABSTRACTThe purpose of the present paper is to examine income convergence in Malaysia by applying the nonlinear unit roottest presented by Kapetanios et al. (KSS 2003) and extended by Chong et al. (CHLL 2008) to permit the test of long-runconvergence and catching-up hypotheses. The KSS-CHLL nonlinear unit root is applied to the test of nonlinear convergencebetween thirteen states with respect to Wilayah Persekutuan, the richest state of Malaysia, for the period of 1965 to2003. Generally, the results suggest that out of the thirteen states, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Perlis and Selangorsupport the long-run convergence hypothesis; while Johor, Kelantan, Melaka, Pahang and Penang suggest catching-up.Lastly, Sabah, Sarawak and Terengganu indicate income divergence from Wilayah Persekutuan.Keywords: Income convergence; nonlinear convergence; nonlinear unit root test; states GDP; MalaysiaABSTRAKTujuan kertas ini adalah bertujuan untuk mengkaji penumpuan pendapatan di Malaysia dengan mengaplikasikanujian unit root tidak linear yang dibentangkan oleh Kapetanios et al. (KSS 2003) dan dijelaskan oleh Chong et al.(CHLL 2008) bagi membolehkan ujian penumpuan jangka panjang dan menangkap hipotesis. Unit root KSS-CHLL tidaklinear diaplikasikan kepada penumpuan ujian tidak linear di antara tiga belas negeri dan Wilayah Persekutuan, negeriterkaya di Malaysia, bagi tempoh tahun 1965 hingga 2003. Umumnya, keputusan ujian mencadangkan bahawa tigabelas negeri, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan, Perak, Perlis dan Selangor menyokong hipotesis penumpuan jangka panjang,manakala Johor, Kelantan, Melaka, Pahang dan Pulau Pinang mencadangkan mengejar. Akhir sekali, Sabah, Sarawakdan Terengganu menunjukkan pendapatan yang berbeza daripada Wilayah Persekutuan.Kata kunci: Pendapatan penumpuan; penumpuan tidak linear; ujian punca satu tidak linear; negeri-negeri KDNK;Malaysia
