Abstract

Este artigo analisa empiricamente a convergência condicional entre as regiões NUTS-3 espanholas e portuguesas durante o período 2000-2014, considerando tanto a dependência espacial entre essas unidades como o impacto da estrutura produtiva nesse processo. A existência de autocorrelação espacial no crescimento do Produto Interno Bruto Regional per capita (PIBpc) torna necessário explorar diferentes modelos econométricos propostos na literatura. Depois de selecionar o Modelo Spatial Durbin devido ao seu melhor grau de ajuste, os resultados obtidos nos permitem afirmar a existência de convergência regional condicional, bem como estimar os spillovers espaciais que conduzem esse processo. Esta análise está focada nos efeitos diretos e indiretos das variáveis explicativas: PIBpc inicial, densidade populacional ea importância relativa dos principais setores de atividade. Finalmente, sublinhemos as principais diferenças entre regiões espanholas e portuguesas.
