Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-5926-2166 Regional convergence and spatial dependence: a worldwide perspective 2020 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This paper incorporates technological interdependence into a neoclassical regional growth framework with imperfect factor mobility, leading to a convergence equation with spatial effects. 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. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S39-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/CAS16-00010 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2017-82246-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2016-SOC-14 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.646 2020 ECONOMICS 115 / 375 = 0.307 2020 Q2 T1 GEOGRAPHY 42 / 85 = 0.494 2020 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 78 / 125 = 0.624 2020 Q3 T2 0.721 2020 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2020 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2020 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Vera-Cabello, M.
