Abstract

La mesure des disparités régionales dans l’Union européenne a été largement abordée dans la littérature, notamment grâce à l’utilisation de modèles de convergence la plupart du temps basés sur des spécifications néo-classiques. Plus récemment, certains travaux ont mis en évidence le rôle de la proximité géographique dans l’explication de la convergence notamment grâce aux méthodes de statistiques spatiales. Cependant, la prise en compte de la dimension locale dans la mesure des disparités régionales (via la convergence) reste souvent négligée. C’est dans ce contexte que nous proposons la mise en place d’un indice de convergence locale prenant la forme d’une spatialisation de la sigma-convergence afin de mettre en évidence les processus simultanés de convergence et de divergence qui s’opèrent dans l’Union européenne au niveau régional.
