AbstractIn 150 years, the trends in regional disparities in economic development within Italy have differed depending on whether they are gauged by longitude or by latitude. The disparities between western and eastern regions first widened and then closed; the North-South gap, by contrast, remains the main open problem in the national history of Italy.

Regional Productivity and Convergence
2021This chapter measures the total factor productivity (TFP) in Japan’s regions and clarifies whether a convergence of TFP disparities has been observed since 1980. Japan’s regional economies face global competition amid the challenges of a declining and aging population.

Regional Convergence – And Divergence – In the US
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2019Previous studies on regional convergence in the US have employed varied methodologies and yielded different conclusions. Some authors report evidence that convergence has grown stronger in recent decades, while others find recent years have seen an end to convergence. We test for convergence with a method that allows for structural change.

The Russian Regional Convergence Process
2009This paper investigates the income convergence among Russian regions in the period 1998-2006. It makes two major contributions to rather extensive literature on the regional convergence in Russia. First, it identifies spatial regimes using the exploratory spatial data analysis.

On the Region of Convergence of Picard's Iteration
ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, 1972AbstractA new convergence condition is described for Picard's iteration for the boundary value problem where f(t, y, z) is continuous and satisfies a Lipschitz‐condition in y and z. This convergence condition is optimal in a sense specified precisely in this paper.

Regional convergence in Kazakhstan
Post-Communist Economies, 2016AbstractThis article studies sigma- and beta-convergence across the regions of Kazakhstan over the period of 1993–2014. The results of the article show that incomes across the regions of Kazakhstan diverged over the whole period of 1993–2014 and the period of 1993–2006, and converged during the period of 2006–2014.

Regional inflation convergence in Turkey [PDF]
, 2015 The aim of the present article is to analyze the convergence of regional inflation rates in Turkey from 2004 to 2015 by adopting a distribution dynamics approach, namely discrete time Markovian chains. Convergence across regional inflation rates is politically a crucial matter for two reasons.

What Kind of Regional Convergence? [PDF]
, 1998 Recent estimates of convergence equations using panel data techniques tend to produce theoretically unpalatable results which run counter to the views prevailing in the literature. This paper argues that these results may be partly due to the difficulty of empirically separating short-term fluctuations around trend from long-term growth dynamics. Using

Is There Convergence of Russia's Regions?
OECD Economics Department Working Papers, 2013This paper analyses 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 time.
