Abstract

This paper investigates spatial variability of regional convergence for the 2004‐2017 period in Turkey. Results from neoclassical convergence model which are robust to inclusion of a spatial battery points out the existence of convergence. However, additional results highlight that regional convergence is spatially heterogeneous. While underdeveloped regions exhibit higher convergence, convergence speed is not distributed evenly among these underdeveloped eastern regions. These findings point out that, last epoch of Turkish transformation fails to have equity enhancing effects at local level, rather there are winners and losers of the rapid growth of 2000s. Este artículo investiga la variabilidad espacial de la convergencia regional para el período 2004‐2017 en Turquía. Los resultados del modelo de convergencia neoclásico, que muestran robustez ante la inclusión de una batería espacial, señalan la existencia de la convergencia. Sin embargo, algunos resultados adicionales ponen de relieve que la convergencia regional es espacialmente heterogénea. Si bien las regiones subdesarrolladas muestran una mayor convergencia, la velocidad de convergencia no se distribuye uniformemente entre estas regiones orientales subdesarrolladas. Estos hallazgos indican que la última época de la transformación turca no tiene un efecto de mejora de la equidad a nivel local, sino que ha habido ganadores y perdedores a consecuencia del rápido crecimiento de la década de 2000. 本稿では、2004~2017年のトルコの地方における収束の空間的な変動性を検討する。空間的バッテリー(spatial battery)の包含に対して頑健な、新古典的な収束モデルから得られた結果から収束の存在が指摘される。しかし、付随的な結果からは、地域の収束は空間的に異質であることが強調される。未開発の地域は高い収束度を示すが、未開発の東部の地域では収束速度の分布は均等ではない。この知見から、トルコの変革政策の最終期には、地域レベルでの公平性を促進する効果は認められず、それどころか2000年代の急成長期には勝者と敗者を生み出したことが指摘される。
