Abstract

In this research, the existence of income convergence between NUTS 2 (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 2 nd level) territories was analyzed for 1987-2001 and 2004-2011 terms. For convergence analyses, spatial econometrics methods (SAR, SEM) were used, as well as classical methods. According to classical convergence analyses, territorial income convergence was occurred in high speed between NUTS 2 territories of Turkey during 1987-2001 and 2004-2011 terms; on the other hand, according to spatial statistical methods convergence was occurred either quite slow or not occurred. In addition to the conclusions of the study, it was found that there wasn’t a positive effect of territorial public investments on territorial income convergence.Classification-JEL: O47, R12, R15 Keywords: Neoclassical Convergence, Spatial Convergence, SAR, SEM
