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 …
