The empirical analysis is based on the estimation of a spatial Durbin panel data model and the implementation of multiple imputation techniques. Our results show that taking into account both unobserved heterogeneity and spatial dependence increases the estimated regional convergence rate. This provides an explanation for puzzling findings in the related literature. We also obtain evidence of heterogeneity across country groups regarding the regional speed of convergence and the degree of diffusion of technology. © 2020, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. 000147870 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S39-17R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/CAS16-00010$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2017-82246-P$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2016-SOC-14 000147870 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000147870 590__ $$a2.646$$b2020 000147870 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b115 / 375 = 0.307$$c2020$$dQ2$$eT1 000147870 591__ $$aGEOGRAPHY$$b42 / 85 = 0.494$$c2020$$dQ2$$eT2 000147870 591__ $$aENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES$$b78 / 125 = 0.624$$c2020$$dQ3$$eT2 000147870 592__ $$a0.721$$b2020 000147870 593__ $$aSocial Sciences (miscellaneous)$$c2020$$dQ1 000147870 593__ $$aEnvironmental Science (miscellaneous)$$c2020$$dQ1 000147870 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000147870 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-8973-6804$$aVera-Cabello, M. 000147870 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-9728-668X$$aPuente-Ajovín, M.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000147870 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
