Chapter Chapter 7 in Convergence Clubs and Spatial Externalities, 2012, pp 141-188 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The previous chapter has examined club convergence in the context of the EU-27 regions, thus providing an alternative perspective on the issue of regional convergence in an enlarged Europe. While previous studies on European regions claim that convergence is slow, the empirical tests reported on Chap. 6 establish that convergence is a property that characterises the regions of the ‘old’ member-states of the European Union together with a selected set of regions located in new member-states.
