The article provides an assessment of the regional convergence process between the Western European regions since the 1950s. Two sets of issues are addressed: (a) Is there sufficient evidence of regional convergence? If so, has the speed of convergence changed over time and is this speed...

In this study, we employ the pairwise stochastic convergence approach to identify the pairs of NUTS2 regions for all 28 EU Member States that exhibit co-movement in their growth dynamics, over the period 1980-2018. We then use the observed stochastic convergence trajectories to assess the role...

In the last decade there has been an upsurge of studies on international comparisons of Total Factor Productivity (TFP … physical capital) but mainly in productivity and technology. Therefore, a crucial issue is the analysis of the determinants of …

We use the case of EU enlargement in 2004 to investigate the impact of economic integration on regional income growth. Being particularly interested in studying the effects ‘at the margin’, we track the relative performance of regions adjacent to both sides of the integration border...

The spatial patterns of changes in economic diversion and convergence have become more blurred in the last decades. International disparities between nations have diminished. At the same time intra-national disparities have increased in most European countries. In the search to identify the...

Progress in regional convergence in the EU has been uneven over the last two decades. While Central and Eastern Europe has been catching up, Southern Europe has often lost ground, especially after the global financial crisis. Furthermore, within most countries, gaps between large cities and...

This paper investigates how the European integration process of central eastern European countries, which has been taking place since the 1990's, affects their GDP growth. Based on an augmented Solow model, I estimate a convergence equation for a panel of ten countries over 16 years (1995-2010)....

Our … hypothesis is that regional productivity growth is positively related to the productivity growth of the leading region within the … country and positively related to the productivity gap with the region that has the highest level of productivity in the …
