Regional Convergence in the European Union, 1985- 1999: A Spatial Dynamic Panel Analysis
Open accessAbstract
Badinger H., Müller W. G. and Tondl G. (2004) Regional convergence in the European Union, 1985- 1999: a spatial dynamic panel analysis, Reg. Studies38, 241-253. We estimate the speed of income convergence for a sample of 196 European NUTS 2 regions over the period 1985-1999. So far there is no direct estimator available for dynamic panels with spatial dependencies. We propose a two-step procedure, which involves first spatial filtering of the variables to isolate the spatial dependence, and application of standard GMM estimators for dynamic panels in a second step. Our results show that ignorance of the spatial correlation leads to potentially misleading results. Applying a system GMM estimator on the filtered variables, we obtain a speed of convergence of 7%.

Nous estimons le taux de convergence des revenus régionaux dans un échantillon de 196 régions européennes au niveau NUTS 2 sur la période 1985-1999. Un estimateur pour les panels dynamiques avec autocorrélation spatiale n'a pas encore été développé. Nous proposons donc une approche en deux étapes. Cette procédure consiste à d'abord filtrer spatialement les variables afin d'isoler l'autocorrélation spatiale, et d'appliquer ensuite un estimateur GMM standard pour panels dynamiques. Nos résultats indiquent qu'ignorer l'autocorrélation spatiale implique des conclusions potentiellement erronées. En appliquant notre méthode en deux étapes, nous aboutissons à un taux de convergence estimé de 7%. Badinger H., Muller W. G. und Tondl G. (2004) Regionale Konvergenz in der Europäischen Union, 1985-1999: eine räumliche Panelanalyse, Reg. Studies38, 241-253. Diese Studie schätzt die Geschwindigkeit der Einkommenskonvergenz für eine Stichprobe von 196 NUTS 2 Regionen. Bis jetzt steht kein direkter Schätzer für dynamische Panels mit räumlicher Abhängigkeit zur Verfügung. Wir schlagen ein zweistufiges Verfahren vor: in einem ersten Schritt werden die Variablen räumlich gefiltert um die räumliche Abhängigkeit zu isolieren; in einem zweiten Schritt werden Standard- GMM Schätzer für dynamische Panels verwendet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Ignorieren der räumlichen Korrelation zu irreführenden Ergebnissen führen kann. Die Verwendung eines System-GMM Schätzers mit den gefilterten Variablen liefert eine Konvergenzgeschwindigkeit von 7 Prozent. Badinger H., Müller W. G. y Tondl G. (2004) Convergencia regional en la Unión Europea 1985-1999: un análisis espacial de paneles dinámicos, Reg. Studies38, 241-253. Calculamos la velocidad de convergencia en los ingresos de 196 regiones europeas NUTS 2 durante el periodo comprendido entre 1985 y 1999. Hasta el momento no existe ningún estimador directo que esté disponible para paneles dinámicos con dependencias espaciales. Proponemos un procedimiento que consta de dos pasos, el cual comprende, en primer lugar, una filtración espacial de las variables para aislar la dependencia espacial, y un segundo paso consistente en la aplicación de estimadores estándares GMM (Método de Momentos Generalizado) a paneles dinámicos. Nuestros resultados muestran que no tener en cuenta la correlación espacial lleva a resultados que son potencialmente engañosos. Aplicando un estimador GMM de sistema a las variables filtradas obtenemos una velocidad de convergencia del siete por ciento.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
