The emergence of new regional convergence clubs in a Nordic and Baltic perspective : 50th Congress of the European Regional Science Association
Cornett, Andreas P.; Sørensen, Nils Karl - 2010 - First draft
The spatial patterns of changes in economic diversion and convergence have become more blurred in the last decades. International disparities between nations have diminished. At the same time intra-national disparities have increased in most European countries. In the search to identify the...

Determinants of convergence and disparities in Europe : innovation, entrepreneurship and the processes of clustering : 52th Congress of the European Regional Science Association
Cornett, Andreas P.; Sørensen, Nils Karl - 2012 - Preliminary version
Innovation and entrepreneurship are key factors in current regional development initiatives, derived from the concepts of new economic growth theory. The aim of this paper is to combine an assessment of innovative and entrepreneurial performance with the spatial distribution and functional...

Regional convergence and divergence in Europe : patterns and regularities
Maurseth, Per Botolf - 2013
Many studies have focused on spatial patterns in economic growth. For the case of Europe, these studies have indicated that growth is spatially dependent and that clustering as well as de-clustering are parts of economic development processes. The distribution dynamics approach has revealed...

Development, growth and decline in Europe : new patterns of economic convergence and divergence? : 53th Congress of the European Regional Science Association
Cornett, Andreas P.; Sørensen, Nils Karl - 2013 - Preliminary version
The influence of general economic and fiscal policy is in recent years more significant than ever. Tight budgets sets limits on public spending in general and on regional development in particular, both with regard to programs specifically targeted on regional issue, but often also indirect due...

Regional convergence in the European union : what are the factors of growth?
Pintera, Jan - 2021
Despite years of deepening economic integration among the states and regions of the European Union, empirical research remains inconclusive about speed of convergence across regions, if not its existence. This paper provides a new look on convergence in the EU while focusing on development at...

The determinants and dynamics of regional convergence in the EU
Arvanitopoulos, Theodoros; Lazarou, Nicholas-Joseph - 2023
In this study, we employ the pairwise stochastic convergence approach to identify the pairs of NUTS2 regions for all 28 EU Member States that exhibit co-movement in their growth dynamics, over the period 1980-2018. We then use the observed stochastic convergence trajectories to assess the role...

Regional Inequality and Convergence in Europe, 1995-2005
Melchior, Arne - 2009
The paper presents new results on within-country regional inequality in per capita income for 36 countries during 1995-2005; focusing on Europe but with some non-European countries included for comparison. In 23 of the 36 countries there was a significant increase in regional inequality during the...

Regional dynamics of economic performance in the EU : to what extent spatial spillovers matter?
Özyurt, Selin; Dées, Stéphane - 2015
This paper investigates the main determinants of economic growth in the European Union from a regional perspective. The analysis is based on a recently available dataset from the European Cluster Observatory covering 253 European regions over the period 2002-2008. In addition to the traditional...

Regional inequality and economic growth : interactions of the relationship with the level of economic development and speed of growth
Tafenau, Egle; Paas, Tiiu - 2010 - First draft
The interaction of inequality and growth and the direction of causality in this relationship have been an extensively discussed topic with several questions but without clear answers both in the theoretical and empirical literature. The current paper contributes mainly into the new economic...
