Using a panel regression framework we find no evidence for beta-convergence. Instead we … regional product confirm this outcome as do non-parametric estimates of convergence, namely estimates using Markov transition …

This paper investigates the income convergence among Russian regions in the period 1998-2006. It makes two major … contributions to rather extensive literature on the regional convergence in Russia. First, it identifies spatial regimes using the … exploratory spatial data analysis. Second, it examines the impact of spatial effects on the convergence process. Our results show …
