Brunow, Stephan; Hirte, Georg - 2005
A spatial econometrics cross-section analysis of the NUTS2 regions of the EU15 is carried out to examine whether the age structure of the regional population or differences in the regional age pattern affect growth of regional per capita income. We apply two parsimonious models of the age...

Introducing a net … migration variable in a growth regression increases the estimate of beta convergence slightly. Studies that use panel models or …
