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.

Do Kazakh Regions Converge? [PDF]
, 2011 Even though Kazakhstan is one of the most successful transition countries in Central Asia it has been neglected in the literature on regional convergence. This paper fills this gap with an empirical analysis of the growth process on the regional level using annual gross regional product (GRP) data for the period 1998–2008 for the 16 Kazakh regions.

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.

Do regional economies converge?
International Advances in Economic Research, 2000Current interest in the new economic growth theory, linked with the development of new, innovative methods of measurement, has resurrected interest in spatial economic convergence. The primary objective of this paper is to examine the extent that regional economies seem to be converging or diverging.

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.

1999
We present a joint study of the US structural transformation (the decline of agriculture as the dominating sector) and regional convergence (of Southern to Northern average wages). We find that empirically most of the regional convergence is attributable to the structural transformation: the nation-wide convergence of agricultural wages to non ...

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
