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 …

convergence rate across the U.S. is about 7 percent per year – higher than the 2 percent normally found with OLS in cross …-country, U.S. state, and European region samples. Estimated convergence rates for 32 individual states are above 2 percent with … an average of 8.1 percent. For 29 states the convergence rate is above 2 percent with 95 percent confidence. For seven …

This paper deals with the development of disparities in regional per capita GDP and convergence processes in the … inequality in order to show the development of between- and within-country disparities.

Regional disparities in Central and Eastern Europe rose substantially since 1990. Still, prima facie evidence of beta-convergence … convergence. In both CEE and the ‘old’ EU15, regional convergence is strongly linked to the level of national development, non …-linearly. But while in the EU15 convergence speeds-up at intermediate/high levels of development, in CEE we find divergence at …
