“…Another stream of literature (e.g., Barrell & Te Velde, 2000, Miller & Gench, 2005Kosfeld, Eckey, and Dreger, 2007) focused on issues of economic convergence within the boundaries of one country. For example, Miller and Gench (2005) analysed convergence processes in US regions during 1969-1997 for almost all regional specifications of models.…”

“…According to Miller and Gench (2005), in the long-run all regions within a country should strive for a certain level of equilibrium (steady state) in economic, environmental and social spheres. Many of the fundamental questions related to economic convergence at the macroeconomic level were intensively developed by Barro and Sala-i-Martin (2003).…”

This article deals with analysis of economic, social and ecological disparities of Ukrainian regions. Regional economic disparities are measured through the convergence concept and the article employs panel data analysis with fixed and random effects estimations. Our empirical results show the presence of economic convergence in Ukrainian regions. Initially it was found that poor regions do grow relatively faster than the rich. Moreover, the difference between poor and rich regions has been decreased 1.8 times during 1999 and 2010. In addition, it was found that the presence of ecological convergence in the Ukraine and initially 'clean' regions do increase pollution faster than initially 'dirty' regions. That is, Ukrainian regions were converging to some environmental steady state through the process of increasing pollution. Ukrainian regions were also experiencing health convergence with negative policy implications, since all regions do converge to some health levels through an increase in morbidity. The economic growth of Ukrainian regions was achieved through sacrificing environmental situations and increased morbidity. Therefore, there were no clear economic reasons to start interregional confrontation that has taken place in the Ukraine, since all regions were on the same track of development.

“…Miller and Grene [15] applied beta convergence techniques onto cross sectional per capita income data of US regions to investigate whether the regions are converging over time period covering 1969 to 1997. They realized that there is continuous convergence behaviour occurred for economic regions of the US in time period from 1969 to 1997.…”
