Spatial dependence and non-linearities in regional growth behaviour in Italy

Spatial dependence and non-linearities in regional growth behaviour in Italy

In this paper, we present an empirical study of per capita income convergence in Italy over the period 1951-2000 based on a fine level of aggregation (the NUTS-3 EU regions represented by the Italian provinces). Concerning the statistical methodology, we use both nonparametric and spatial econometri...
