This paper estimates the impact of public investment on regional economic growth and convergence at the NUTS III level … capita on regional economic growth – but not on convergence – which also generates considerable spillover effects. However …

This paper analyzes convergence in per capita gross regional product of Russia's regions during the period 1995 …-2010, when regional data are available. 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 …

long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence … is more consistent with endogenous self-reinforcing growth than with neoclassical convergence. Introducing a net … migration variable in a growth regression increases the estimate of beta convergence slightly. Studies that use panel models or …

Price and output level convergence between new member states and the existing EU necessarily implies inflation and … nominal criteria are suspended, the policy instruments required to achieve euro convergence are in the hands of the individual …

Chinese provinces over the 1992-2009. Based on exploratory spatial data analysis, spatial sigma-convergence and spatial Durbin … specifications, we present a much clearer picture of FDI dispersion and spatial convergence across China by highlighting the … spillover effects of FDI localization in Chinese provinces and regions. Our results are threefold. First, FDI convergence is …

This paper considers how specific the Chinese growth experience is in the convergence debate. It shows the location of … China within the cross-country relations of (absolute and conditional) convergence and its move since the transition period …. Then it evidences a cross-province relation of convergence within China, stronger if this is conditional than absolute …

Unlike economies as a whole, manufacturing industries exhibit unconditional convergence in labor productivity. The … the period since 1990. The coefficient of unconditional convergence is estimated quite precisely and is large, at 3 …
