In this study, we employ the pairwise stochastic convergence approach to identify the pairs of NUTS2 regions for all 28 … stochastic convergence trajectories to assess the role of first nature geography, which is defined by variations in physical …, in causing economic growth convergence patterns. We find that western and northern parts of Europe have higher pairwise …
