Analiza β-konwergencji. Od tradycyjnego modelu przekrojowego do dynamicznego modelu panelowego

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to discuss the course of development of methodology of economic convergence analyses, which points up the necessity of taking into consideration spatial connections among regions in regional growth models. It presents empirical models of β-convergence concerning the economic growth of European regions using various methodological conceptions. In the paper the models offered by spatial econometrics are recommended. The empirical data refer to per capita GDP across the European Union regions at a NUTS-2 level over the period 1995-2009 (annual data).

Sectoral Regional Growth and Convergence in Ecuador: An Analysis of the Intra-Distributive Dynamics of Productivity

“…Despite the existence of what was called the "growth regression industry", in which there are a considerable amount of studies on the subject and a great variety of theories and indicators [17], the empirical evidence continues to be inconclusive [18][19][20] and although there are studies that relate the economic structure with productivity [21,22], there are few studies that link this productive structure with the processes of beta-convergence in productivity [23]. Criticisms of convergence studies have also indicated that the convergence found in econometric models could even be present when regional dispersion was not decreasing [24,25].…”
