In this paper, we study convergence in per capita gross regional products across Russian regions in the period from … model to analyze the regional convergence process in the Russian case. We also take into account possible spatial effects … and do a series of other robustness checks. Our main estimates establish a convergence rate of around 2% per year. While …

This paper presents, by a small modification of the savings behavior in the Solow model, a framework that matches RCK … country size; that income growth will be a U-shaped function of initial income thus creating differentiated convergence; and …

We examine the mechanism by which human capital affects economic growth and convergence, using provincial level panel … estimate parametrically, nonparametrically, and with a threshold model. Our results show that economic convergence is …
