Regional convergence in Russia : estimating a neoclassical growth model

Lehmann, Hartmut; Oščepkov, Aleksej Ju.; Silvagni, … - 2020

In this paper, we study convergence in per capita gross regional products across Russian regions in the period from 1996 to 2017. To this purpose, we estimate growth equations, which are directly derived from a neoclassical growth model, augmented with human capital and migration. To our...
