Income Distribution Dynamics and Cross-Region Convergence in Europe : Spatial Filtering and Novel Stochastic Kernel Representations

Fischer, Manfred M.; Stumpner, Peter - 2007

This paper suggests an empirical framework for analysing income distribution dynamics and cross-region convergence in the European Union of 27 member states, 1995-2003. The framework lies in the research tradition that allows the state income space to be continuous, puts emphasis on both shape...
