Abstract: Abstract Empirical research undertaken in Ecuador to study the country’s regional dynamics uses the region as a unit of observation. Prior to 2007, Ecuador had 22 provinces (which would later be called regions). This study seeks to ascertain whether the regional growth and economic concentration that are evident in Ecuador are determining factors in the development of regional convergence.
