Provincial convergence in Spain: a spatial econometric approach

Author

  • Jose Villaverde

Abstract

This article examines the process of provincial convergence in labour productivity that has taken place in Spain between 1985 and 2002. In order to quantify the influence of space on the convergence process, it applies a spatial econometric approach, concluding that although spatial effects do indeed exist, they do not seem to be too relevant for the aforementioned process.
