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 …

The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence … is more consistent with endogenous self-reinforcing growth than with neoclassical convergence. Introducing a net … migration variable in a growth regression increases the estimate of beta convergence slightly. Studies that use panel models or …
