Description for Convergence Clubs and Spatial Externalities
Hardback. A rare book on regional convergence in the EU, this volume affords planners, policy makers and regional development institutions a set of easily applied methods based on a novel analysis that links club convergence to technology adoption differentials. Series: Advances in Spatial Science. Num Pages: 260 pages, 30 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: 1D; KCP; RGCM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 542.
Do dynamic externalities, in the form of technology creation, adoption and spatial agglomeration shape the pattern of regional growth in Europe? This study provides an alternative view on regional convergence. A model is developed which attributes club-convergence to existing differences with respect to the degree of technology adoption. In the first instance, empirical results suggest that the NUTS-2 regions of the EU-27 converge at a very slow rate. Further tests, however, indicate that convergence is restricted to a specific subset of regions. Such conclusions are tested further, using an alternative model of club-convergence, which incorporates the impact of spatial interaction, ... Read more
