SECTORAL PRODUCTIVITY, CONVERGENCE AND SPACE BETWEEN EUROPEAN REGIONS

Nicola Pontarollo    

Resumen

The aim of our analysis is the evaluation of the total and sectoral convergence of labour productivity between 896 NUTS-3 regions of EU-12 over the period 1980-2010. We adopt a ß- and s-convergence approach along with a methodology based on Getis? spatial filters that allows decomposing the variables into their spatial and a-spatial components ensuring their spatial independence. This guarantees reliable regression results and unbiased variance estimation. The estimates highlight a process s- and ß-convergence of regional economies in which spatial interrelations among regions play an important role.
