Resende, Guilherme; Cravo, Tulio - European Regional Science Association - 2013
the empirical results caused by the use of different spatial scales in the analysis of convergence process of European … (MAUP). Thus, convergence processes among EU15 are examined across three spatial scales often used in applied work, namely …, NUTS1, NUTS2 and NUTS3, between 2000 and 2008.
