CONVERGENCE REGIONAL STUDY COMPARING EU MEMBER STATES
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Statistica - Year 2015, Vol 63, Issue 5
Abstract
Following the great interest shown by the EU to the concept of regional convergence as objective of its cohesion policy, as well as of the theoretical and applied debates carried out by scientific researchers, I realized a brief statistical analysis of the economic evolution of a few member states considered as representative for the stage and role they played in the economic development of the Union in the period covering both last extension waves. To this purpose, I applied the concept of β- and σ-convergence, defined in the frame of the neoclassical growth model developed by Barro and Sala-i-Martin, in analyzing the statistical data, i.e. the GDP per capita at NUTS3 level in the 2000-2011 period, provided by EUROSTAT for France, Germany, and Greece.
