Convergence of EU-regions. A literature report

Abstract

El foco principal de los estudios de convergencia aborda la cuestión de si las economías pobres alcanzan a las economías más ricas en un cierto plazo. El proceso de la convergencia regional en Europa ha generado un creciente interés en los últimos años. Debido a la crisis financiera, la convergencia regional se ha convertido en una cuestión central, siempre que los fondos comunitarios tienen como objetivo la disminución de las disparidades. Hay muchos estudios publicados recientemente que tratan sobre estos temas usando diversas aproximaciones empíricas. El marco de la β-convergencia, que fue introducido por Barro y Sala-i-Martin, es, por ejemplo, un enfoque muy utilizado. Este trabajo ofrece una revisión crítica de las aproximaciones usadas y resume sus resultados. Un problema particular es que los autores hacen referencia a diversos períodos y grupos de Estados miembro (UE-9, UE-15, etc.). En conjunto la mayoría de los modelos permiten concluir que se produce un proceso lento de convergencia. El aumento de las desigualdades regionales originadas por la ampliación de la UE con los nuevos Estados miembros del Centro y Este europeo explica la existencia de clubs de convergencia

The main focus of convergence studies surrounds the question of whether poor economies catch up to wealthier economies over time. The regional convergence process in Europe has generated considerable interest in recent years. Due to financial straits regional convergence is a central question, since important funds aim at diminishing disparities. There are many studies published recently dealing with this issue using different empirical approaches. The β-convergence framework, which was introduced by Barro and Sala-i-Martin, is, for instance, an often used approach. This paper provides a critical review of the used approaches and summarises the results. A special problem is that authors refer to different periods and Member State groups (EU-9, EU-15, etc.). Altogether it can be stated that most models find a slow convergence process. In particular, the increase of regional inequalities caused by the enlargement of the EU with the New Member States from Central and Eastern Europe explains the existence of convergence clubs
