Distribution Dynamics of Regional GDP per Employee in Unified Germany
We investigate to what extent convergence in production levels per worker has been achieved in Germany since unification. To this end, we model the distribution of GDP per employee across German districts using two-component normal mixtures. While in the first year after unification, the two component distributions were clearly separated and bimodal, corresponding to the East and West German di...

متن کاملRegional Dynamics of Unemployment in Poland – a Convergence Approach
In this paper we approach the structural characteristics of the unemployment in Poland. Using NUTS3 level data for 1999 till 2006 we employ tools typically applied to income convergence analyses to test the stability of unemployment distribution. We demonstrate that this distribution is highly stable over time, while no convergence may be detected. Some evidence in favour of “convergence in clu...

Regional Income Stratification in Unified Germany Using a Gini Decomposition Approach This paper delivers new insights into the development of income inequality and regional stratification in Germany after unification using a new method for detecting social stratification by a decomposition of the GINI index which yields the obligatory betweenand within-group components as well as an “overlappi...
متن کاملRegional Income Stratification in Unified Germany using a Gini Decomposition Approach (ANOGI)
This paper delivers new insights into the development of income inequality and regional stratification in Germany after unification using a new method for detecting social stratification by a decomposition of the GINI index which yields the obligatory betweenand withingroup components as well as an “overlapping” index for the different sup-populations. We apply this method together with a jackk...
