Growth spillovers in the MENA region
Baysoy, Merve Aksoylar; Altuğ, Sumru - 2019
In this paper, we examine the role of spillovers in economic growth for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region by accounting for spatial effects. Such spatial effects in growth for the MENA countries may arise on the basis of geography, bilateral trade or institutional similarities. We...

What can the EMU's peripheral countries learn from regional growth?
Aiginger, Karl; Firgo, Matthias; Huber, Peter - 2013
The experiences of 259 regions in 21 European countries with within country GDP per capita and labour productivity growth suggest that variables associated with pro-active, growth oriented strategies are consistently more important predictors of successful regional development than variables...

Is there convergence of Russia's regions? : exploring the empirical evidence : 1995-2010
Lehmann, Hartmut; Silvagni, Maria Giulia - 2013
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 …

Regional convergence in Russia : estimating a neoclassical growth model
Lehmann, Hartmut; Oščepkov, Aleksej Ju.; Silvagni, … - 2020
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 …
