Abstract: The aim is to provide evidence about regional convergence from Argentinean and Brazilian regions. The period analyzed is 1985-2005. The study is carried out considering different methodologies: Barro´s regressions, taking into account extensions to analyze the possibility of spatial effects, and the analysis of Quah. The main results allow accounting for a convergent process, although the main characteristic is its speed. It turns out to be very low from all methodologies and marginally accelerated in the case of the recognition of spatial errors that affect the region.
