Is There Convergence of Russia's Regions? Exploring the Empirical Evidence: 1995–2010
Lehmann, Hartmut; Silvagni, Maria Giulia - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2013
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 …
