Using a spatial hedonic growth model, this paper empirically examines the relative roles of natural amenities and urban agglomeration economies as determinants of U.S. regional growth patterns from 2000 to 2010. Natural amenities and urban agglomeration are measured using the USDA Economic...

Assessing regional growth and convergence across Europe is a matter of primary importance, either in light of the … structural heterogeneities and spatial effects could fail to detect club convergence phenomena. In this paper, we adopt a … spatially filtered mixture regression approach that endogenously identifies regional clubs of beta-­convergence, in order to …

The analysis focuses on the impact of interregional migration flows on regional growth rates during the period 1983-2002. A first important result is that migration did affect regional growth rates in Italy. Moreover, the results from the analysis of the two sub-periods, 1983-1992 and 1993-2002,...

This paper studies absolute and conditional convergence (alfa and beta-convergence too,) in Mexico over the period 1970 …-1995. I use the neoclassical growth model and a cross-section data for empirics. I find evidence of conditional convergence … (near at traditional 2% rate) for full period but different rates for other periods. I find also a faster convergence rate …
