Regional mobility in the spatial distribution of per capita income in the European Union is examined over the period 1977 to 1999. The methodology used to investigate this issue combines a series of measures taken from the literature devoted to the dynamic study of personal income distribution...

The regional welfare distribution in the European Union between 1993 and 1998 is examined, using several complementary methodologies. The results obtained show a reduction in regional welfare disparities over the period analysed. It is worth noting, in this respect, however, that regional...

This note investigates the sources of international differences in the levels of per capita health-care expenditure, using data on the OECD countries between 1975 and 2003. To that end, we use Theil's second measure of inequality for decomposing cross-country disparities in per capita...

Ezcurra R., Gil C., Pascual P. and Rapun M. (2005) Regional inequality in the European Union: does industry mix matter?, Regional Studies 39 , 679-697. The aim of this paper is to test for the respective roles of regional and sectoral factors in productivity convergence in the European Union...

This note examines industrial concentration in the regions of the European Union during the period following the implementation of the Single Market. To achieve this objective, we have applied a new methodology in this literature based on the second degree inverse stochastic dominance concept....

The purpose of this paper is to provide empirical evidence on the neighboring effects of Internet adoption as measured by the percentage of firms with their own website in the European regions. This is the first study that explicitly analyzes the role played by spatial effects to explain website...

This paper investigates the relationship between volatility and economic growth in the European regions over the period 1995-2008. To that end, we estimate a two way fi_x000C_xed e_x000B_ffects panel data model using spatial econometric techniques that allow us to incorporate into the analysis...

This paper examines the relationship between government quality and spatial inequality across forty-six countries over the period 1996–2006. The results of the analysis point to the existence of a negative and significant association between government quality and the magnitude of regional...
