The case of Spanish provinces 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This paper explores potential convergence across the Spanish provinces, paying special attention to the influence of the recent international crisis on this process. To this end, we have taken the traditional per capita gross domestic product and the multidimensional index of human development as references. Our results show the formation of several clubs whose composition and convergence pattern has been modified by the recent crisis: the previously increasing differences in the average per capita gross domestic product between clubs have been attenuated, whilst the decreasing disparities in the average human development index have been stabilized. However, the behavior of the clubs in the last period of the sample suggests that these differences may increase notably in the post crisis years. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S124-CASSETEM group info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/ECO2012-37194 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 1.696 2017 ECONOMICS 102 / 353 = 0.289 2017 Q2 T1 0.966 2017 Economics and Econometrics 2017 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Olmos Salvador, Lorena Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1438-4581 Reyes, Marcelo (orcid)0000-0002-5987-6424 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
