This paper analyzes convergence in per capita gross regional product of Russia's regions during the period 1995 …-2010, when regional data are available. Using a panel regression framework we find no evidence for beta-convergence. Instead we … regional product confirm this outcome as do non-parametric estimates of convergence, namely estimates using Markov transition …

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 …

We examine economic convergence among subnational regions of Bangladesh over the period 1992-2013. Unavailability of … literature, we use night lights intensity as a proxy for local economic activity to test the convergence hypothesis. Our results … show the existence of both absolute and conditional convergence in night lights intensity, but with a very long half …
