Using sigma and beta convergence methods, this study tests economic convergence in Turkish NUTS-2 regions between 2004 …-2011. The findings of sigma convergence analysis show that the interregional income gap decreases during economic recession … periods and increases during economic expansion periods. The beta convergence results obtained by the cross-sectional and …

During the first period (1860-1940), the unrestricted action … successive governments appears to have also been important for the evolution of regional income inequality. Regional convergence … was intense from 1940 to 1980. In this period, governments aided the convergence in productivity among industries and the …
