Abstract

The question of whether there is a tendency for regional convergence has become a central topic for economic research. This paper considers the issue of convergence across Greek regions, following the theoretical basis of the neoclassical model of economic growth. Our analysis finds no evidence of convergence and supports the hypothesis of dualism across the southern and the northern parts of the country. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
