In this note we introduce a family of functions that various theoretical results have revealed as useful mobility measures. These functions have enabled us to circumvent an impossibility result obtained by Shorrocks (1978), by adapting one of his axioms to the context of mobility as movement. A...

This paper examines the sources of spatial disparities in output per capita across the European regions over the period 1986-2004. To this end, a decomposition of the Theil´s second measure of inequality is used. The analysis carried out shows the important role played by labour productivity...

This note examines the evolution and origin of regional disparities in per capita GDP in the European Union. To this end, we propose a new methodology that allows us to analze the role played in explaining the variability of per capita GDP across the European regions by spatial differences in...
