Abstract

The main objective of this research is to analyse the beta-convergence in European Union (EU-28), showing the regional income disparities. The estimated rate of convergence was around 0.46% in the EU-28. OLS tends to be biased, the substantive form of spatial autocorrelation being obvious for the data. The absolute convergence is at an annual rate of 1.85% between 2001 and 2012. The results of the estimations suggest not significant convergence within EU-28 members.
