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 …

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 …

Second, through a … decomposition of the poverty convergence elasticity, the analysis investigates whether this convergence, if it exists, has … translated into poverty convergence. In a context of overall stagnant economic growth and poverty reduction since 1990, the …

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 …
