convergence of GDP per worker observed across the European regions, in the absence of data on regional TFP. Second, the spatial … regional convergence in Europe. As for the first issue, our aim is to assess whether the convergence observed across European … regions is due to convergence in technology as well as to convergence in capital-labour ratios. We first develop a growth …

We analyse the robustness of potential determinants of the differences in the long-run growth rate of GDP per capita across EU regions using quantile regression. We propose using Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) methods on the class of quantile regression models in order to assess the set of...
