Cherodian, Rowan; Thirlwall, Anthony P. - 2013
The paper looks at the latest evidence of what has been happening to regional disparities in per capita income (measured as Gross State Domestic Product per capita) in India over the first decade of the twenty first century (1999/00 to 2010/11) by estimating cross section equations for...

Regional inequality in India in the 1990s : a further look
Singh, Nirvikar; Kendall, Jake; Jain, Rajendra Kumar; … - 2013
This paper examines changes in regional inequality in India in the 1990s, using data for 59 of India's 78 agro-climatic regions from the National Sample Survey. It extends the work of Singh et al. (2003) in two ways. First, it allows for differences in baseline growth performance across...

Is there convergence of Russia's regions? : exploring the empirical evidence ; 1995 - 2010
Lehmann, Hartmut; Silvagni, Maria Giulia - 2013
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 find divergence, which is, however, attenuated over...

Innovation, income and regional development : an assessment of the importance of differences in regional potentials
Cornett, Andreas P.; Sørensen, Nils Karl - 2016
The purpose of the current paper is to analyze the impact of regional potentials on the process of growth. How are different types of regions (e.g. medium sized [city] regions, rural regions, urban regions or metropolitan and high-tech cluster regions) affected by improved performance, and to...

Convergence Across Indian States : A Re-Evaluation
Gunji, Hiroshi - 2016
In this paper, we examine the growth convergence hypothesis within a developing country. Across Indian states, income dispersion has widened in recent years. Some new methods that are used by many researchers for studies across countries or across U.S. regions are applied, and we find that...
