investigates the hypothesis of absolute and conditional convergence of income among the Brazilian states from 1994 to 2010. The … the second step we test the convergence hypothesis to corroborate the existence of absolute and conditional convergence … among Brazilian regions. The speed of convergence is estimated by neoclassical model. The model of absolute convergence …

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 …

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 …

show that a significant convergence in female participation took place from 1940 to 2010. Historically, urban areas have … demographics and educational attainment explain 74 percent of the convergence for the age 25-39 group, while they explain 40 … percent of the convergence for the age 40-54 group. The increase of non-regular employment explains 60 percent of convergence …

. Filling the gap of previous contributions, the paper aims to investigate convergence outcomes of the CP at NUTS2&3 level and …

This study examines movements in per farm real output in the US counties, and tests for convergence of output at the … sub-periods, 1982-87 and 1987-92. For the period 1982-92, results show weak convergence at aggregate and regional levels …. For the first sub-period 1982-87 (the second sub-period 1987-92) weak convergence (strong divergence) takes place at …
