This paper analyses the regional convergence of sub-national states in the case of Mercosur from 1961 to 2005 by using a non-parametric techniques of clustering under the concept of regime of performance. That is, the convergence between two regions is established by the approximation of their...

Between 1985 and 1998, the growth rate of Chile was among the top four in the world (Massad, 2002, Gallego and Loayza, 2002) showing, moreover, a very heterogeneous behavior at regional level. The objective of this paper is to analyze how dissimilar are the economic performance of Chilean...

This paper studies the regional convergence of sub-national states in the case of Mercosur from 1961 to 2005 by using a non-parametric technique of clustering under the concept of \regime of performance". In the first section, a review in interregional convergence is shown for the Mercosur case....

Entre 1985 y 1998 la tasa de crecimiento de Chile se encontró entre las cuatro primeras del mundo (Massad, 2002; Gallego & Loayza, 2002) siendo, sin embargo, sumamente heterogéneo el comportamiento a nivel territorial. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar cuán disímiles han sido los...

Este trabajo analiza la convergencia regional de las provincias y estados para el caso del Mercosur durante 1961-2005 mediante un método de técnicas no paramétricas de “clusterización" bajo el concepto de “régimen de desempeño". En la primera sección se revisan los antecedentes....

Argentina is the principal source of tourism in Uruguay. This paper analyzes the effects in the long run of tourism from Argentina on the economic growth of Uruguay. Using quarterly data from 1987.I to 2006.IV, the study uses co-integration analysis and shows the existence of one cointegrated...
