This latter possibility is known as ‘club convergence’ and provides a realistic and detailed picture about regional growth (Fischer and Stirböck 2006). The notion of club convergence was originally introduced by Baumol (1986) in recognition of conver

The possibility that groups of economies are likely to converge towards the same steady-state (absolute convergence) or towards different steady-states (conditional convergence) has also been examined. In discussing club convergence, the possibil

It is the purpose of this chapter to provide an assessment of whether or not absolute convergence is apparent across the regions of the EU-27, and whether this applies only to a selected club.
