A Bayesian space-time approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe
This study suggests a two-step approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe. The first step calculates Bayesian probabilities for various assignments of regions to two clubs using a general stochastic space-time dynamic panel relationship between growth rates and initial levels of income as well as endowments of physical, knowledge and human capital. This approa...
متن کاملA Bayesian approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe
This study suggests a two-step approach to identifying and interpreting regional convergence clubs in Europe. The first step involves identifying the number and composition of clubs using a space-time panel data model for annual income growth rates in conjunction with Bayesian model comparison methods. A second step uses a Bayesian space-time panel data model to assess how changes in the initia...
متن کاملAbout regional convergence clubs in the European Union*
The goal of this research is to present the concept of convergence club within the European Union members, starting from the hypothesis that an overall convergence cannot be identified because of the high output disparities between countries and between regions. For the analysis, the concept has been used as a method of regression based on a convergence test that supposes an innovative decompos...
متن کاملIdeas Determining Convergence Clubs Ideas Determining Convergence Clubs Ideas Determining Convergence Clubs
This paper develops a model of cross-country growth and distribution dynamics where sharing ideas is important. The model shows clusters of economies emerging from deliberate choices made in equilibrium. It characterizes how, over time, the cross-section distribution of countries stratifies into distinct income classes.
متن کاملMixture Models and Convergence Clubs
In this paper we argue that modelling the cross-country distribution of per capita income as a mixture distribution provides a natural framework for the detection of convergence clubs. The framework yields tests for the number of component distributions that are likely to have more power than “bump hunting” tests and includes a natural method of assessing the cross-component immobility necessar...
