This paper deals with the development of regional income disparities and convergence processes in the countries of the … the period 1995 - 2003. We use the two classical concepts of s – and ß-convergence. Furthermore, spatial econometric …

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. Secondly, we conduct a formal Ø-convergence … centre of Europe. However, the convergence process has been driven mainly by national factors. In the course of this process …

This paper reviews the empirical literature on growth and convergence that has addressed the importance of spatial …

This paper analyzes convergence in per capita gross regional product of Russia's regions during the period 1995 …-2010, when regional data are available. Using a panel regression framework we find no evidence for beta-convergence. Instead we … regional product confirm this outcome as do non-parametric estimates of convergence, namely estimates using Markov transition …

In this paper, we study convergence in per capita gross regional products across Russian regions in the period from … model to analyze the regional convergence process in the Russian case. We also take into account possible spatial effects … and do a series of other robustness checks. Our main estimates establish a convergence rate of around 2% per year. While …
