Abstract

En este trabajo examinamos la existencia de beta-convergencia, entre distritos de Argentina, en términos de ingreso promedio para un período que se extiende por más de dos décadas. A diferencia de la mayoría de los antecedentes en el tópico, aquí relajamos el supuesto de independencia entre observaciones y permitimos la presencia de dependencia espacial. Los resultados muestran la existencia de un proceso de convergencia condicional en el período examinado. Además, los hallazgos refuerzan la importancia de la inclusión de efectos espaciales en el análisis: la trayectoria económica de un distrito se ve significativamente afectada por la trayectoria de sus vecinos. La existencia y velocidad de convergencia es heterogénea entre subperíodos (1992-2002 vs. 2003-2013).
