## Delta convergence 


Delta convergence is a reduction of a country distance from the best performing Member State. There is convergence if there is a decrease in the period considered. 

<br><br> 
Let $y_{m,i,t}$ be the value of indicator $i$ for member state $m$ at time $t$,
and $y^{(M)}_{i,t}$ the maximum value  over member states in the 
reference set $A$:
$$
y^{(M)}_{i,t} = max(\{ y_{m,i,t}: m \in A\})
$$

The distance of a member state $m$ from the top performer at time $i$ is:
$$
y^{(M)}_{i,t} - y_{m,i,t}
$$
thus the overall distance at time $t$, called delta, is the sum of distances over the 
reference set  $A$ of MS:
$$
\delta_{i,t} = \sum_{m \in A} (y^{(M)}_{i,t} -  y_{m,i,t})
$$
for the considered indicator $i$.

For each year, the above summaries are calculated to assess if a reduction in 
the amplitude on the took place.
