Abstract

CHATTERJI M. and DEWHURST J. H. LL. (1996) Convergence clubs and relative economic performance in Great Britain: 1977--1991, Reg. Studies 30, 31--40. Movements in the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of English and Welsh counties and Scottish regions are examined to test whether the counties and regions are converging in terms of GDP per capita. The exercise is carried out for the period 1977 to 1991 and for six sub-periods. Although there is no evidence of convergence over the whole period there is some evidence of convergence within certain sub-periods. These are periods when the economy as a whole is growing slowly. CHATTERJI M. et DEWHURST J. H. LL. (1996) La convergence et la performance économique relative en Grande-Bretagne de 1977 à 1991, Reg. Studies 30, 31--40. La variation du Produit Intérieur Brut par tête dans les comtés de l'Angleterre et du pays de Galles ainsi que dans les régions de l'Ecosse se voient examiner afin de tester si, oui ou non, les comtés et les régions convergent en termes du PIB par tête. L'étude porte sur la période de 1977 à 1991 et sur six sous-périodes. Bien qu'il n'y ait pas de preuves à l'appui de la convergence sur toute la période, néanmoins il y a quelques preuves de la convergence au cours de certaines sous-périodes. Ce sont des périodes où la croissance globale de l'économie s'avère lente. CHATTERJI M. und DEWHURST J. H. LL. (1996) Konver-genzklubs und relative Wirtschaftsleistung in Großritannien im Zeitraum 1977--1991, Reg. Studies 30, 31--40. Anstiege und Rüchgänge im Bruttosozialprodukt pro Kopf in den englischen und welschen Grafschaften und den schottischen Regionen werden untersucht, um zu prüfen, ob in Bezug auf das Bruttosozialprodukt in den Grafschaften und Regionen eine Konvergenz besteht. Die Überprüfung wird sowohl für den Zeitraum 1977--1991 als auch für sechs Teilperioden durchgeführt. Obwohl sich keine Beweise für eine Konvergenz für die Gesamtzeit aufstellen lassen, gibt es doch Belege dafür in bestimmten Zeitabschnitten. Es handelt sich um Zeiten, in denen die Wirtschaft insgesamt langsam wächst.
