Regional convergence in Italy: time series approaches

De Siano, Rita; D'Uva, Marcella - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2009

This paper investigates the evolution of the gap between Italian regions and Italy as a whole during the period 1980-2007. We tested for the presence of the stochastic and β-convergence hypotheses using different time series approaches. The former was studied, first, for all the sample period...

Nonlinear Stochastic Convergence Analysis of Regional Unemployment Rates in Poland

Tyrowicz, Joanna; Wójcik, Piotr - Wydział Nauk Ekonomicznych, Uniwersytet Warszawski - 2009

This paper analyses convergence of unemployment rates in Poland at NUTS4 level by testing nonlinear convergence, applying the modified KSS-CHLL for each pair of territorial units. The results suggest that actually the convergence is a rare phenomenon and occurs only in 1916 cases out of...

Unemployment Convergence in Transition

Katrencik, David; Tyrowicz, Joanna; Wojcik, Piotr - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2008

In this paper an attempt is made to inquire the dynamics of regional unemployment rates in transition economies. We use policy relevant NUTS4 unemployment rates for transition economies characterised by both relatively intense (Poland, Slovaka) and relatively mild labour market hardships (namely...
