- Title
Convergence and regional productivity differences: Evidence from Greek prefectures.
- Authors
Christopoulos, Dimitris K.; Tsionas, Efthymios G.
- Abstract
We study the effect of technology gaps and capital deepening on the productivity growth of Greek prefectures over the period 1971-1995. The empirical results show that Greek prefectures tended to converge over time, contrary to conventional wisdom. It is found that capital deepening plays a significant role in explaining productivity differences at the regional level. The empirical results are discussed in detail.
