''Income distribution dynamics across European regions'' |
( 2005, Vol. 15 No.12 ) |
|
|
We use two datasets to study the convergence process across European regions. Relying on Quah (1966a,1997), we examine the dynamics of income distribution and find evidence of polarization whatever the time horizon considered. Regions whose incomes were close together at an initial period transit subsequently to widely different income levels. |
