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 …

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 …
