We investigate the convergence process among EU regions between 1980-2002 taking into account the effects of spatial …

The aim of our analysis is the evaluation of the total and sectoral convergence of labour productivity between 182 … adopt a β- and σ-convergence approach along with a methodology based on Getis' spatial filters that allows decomposing … and low productivity, respectively ‘core' and ‘periphery'. Our results show significant σ-convergence in aggregate labour …

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 …

The aim of this paper is to present a further contribution, with panel data, to the analysis of absolute convergence … productivity at regional level. Presenting some empirical evidence of absolute convergence of productivity for each of the economic … empirical evidence of conditional convergence of productivity, for each of the economic sectors of the NUTS II of Portugal, from …

This paper estimates the impact of public investment on regional economic growth and convergence at the NUTS III level … capita on regional economic growth – but not on convergence – which also generates considerable spillover effects. However …

We show in this paper that spatial dependence and spatial heterogeneity matter in the estimation of the b-convergence … dependence and spatial heterogeneity in the form of structural instability across spatial convergence clubs. The estimation of … the appropriate spatial regimes spatial error model shows that the convergence process is different across regimes. We …

L'objectif de cet article est d'analyser la dépendance spatiale dans les processus de convergence des régions … permet d'apporter un éclairage nouveau sur la mesure habituelle de la s-convergence qui masque des schémas géographiques … particuliers fluctuants dans le temps. D'autre part nous testons la présence d'autocorrélation spatiale dans les modèles de b-convergence …
