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

Convergence between Russian regions [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper we study convergence among Russian regions. We find that while there was no convergence in 1990s, the situation changed dramatically in 2000s. While interregional GDP per capita gaps still persist, the differentials in incomes and wages decreased substantially.

Regional convergence: evidence from greek regions
The present dissertation discusses the issue of regional convergence in Greece during the period 1995-2005. Following the theoretical concept of Barro and Salla-i-Martin, 1990, (β and σ convergence concepts), several tests are conducted to test for conditional or absolute convergence across Greek Regions.openaire +1 more source

Do regions converge? This essay provides an overview of the key developments in the study of regional convergence, discussing the methodological issues that have arisen since the first attempts to analyse convergence and critically surveying the results that have been obtained for different regional systems.

Region extraction using convergent evidence
Computer Graphics and Image Processing, 1979Abstract Scenes consisting of spatially compact regions which contrast with their surrounds can be segmented by extracting connected components of above-threshold values whose borders match the positions of edges. Edge/border coincidence thus defines a kind of “optimal thresholding”, since for any object we can choose the threshold which maximizes ...
