Regional disparities in Central and Eastern Europe rose substantially since 1990. Still, prima facie evidence of beta-convergence … convergence. In both CEE and the ‘old’ EU15, regional convergence is strongly linked to the level of national development, non …-linearly. But while in the EU15 convergence speeds-up at intermediate/high levels of development, in CEE we find divergence at …

We show in this paper that spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity matter in the estimation of the b-convergence … dependence and spatial heterogeneity in the form of structural instability across spatial convergence clubs. The estimation of … the appropriate spatial regimes spatial error model shows that the convergence process is different across regimes. We …

We detect a significant -convergence only in aggregate labor productivity and in the services … sectors among peripheral regions. We also show that omitting spatial effects leads to biased measures of -convergence. We then …

This paper examines the relationship between spatial clustering and inequality at the county scale with overall state per capita income in the U.S. over the period 1969-2000. For each of the 48 coterminous states we examine measures of inequality and spatial clustering and explore how a state's...

This paper introduces three measures of spatial dependence for use in the analysis of regional income distributions and their evolution. The first builds upon the notion of regional conditioning (Quah 1993), and is derived as a trace statistic from a modified Markov transition matrix. The...
