Real Convergence in the New Member States: Myth or Reality?

Abstract: The paper analyses the process of real convergence of the New Member States of the European Union. Its importance is underlined in connection with a successful catching-up and a special attention is paid to the countries involved in the fifth European enlargement, with the exception of Cyprus and Malta. We note that, over the last decade, these economies experienced robust economic growth, which had a stronger impact on the convergence process within the EU8 group than to EU15. Our assumptions are investigated… Show more

“…Using a cross-sectional approach, Matkowski and Prochniak (2007) find evidence in support of income convergence within the group of new EU entrants while their convergence process towards existing members seems slower. Using a time-series approach, Kocenda et al (2006) and Ingianni and Zdarek (2009) also support income convergence among new entrants. Cavenaile and Dubois (2011) test for the existence of two separate groups of convergence within the European Union i.e.…”

Using a time-series approach, Kocenda et al (2006) and Ingianni and Zdarek (2009) Feng et al (2018) compare the contagious corruption difference between geographic border and distance for B&R countries and find that B&R countries with a common border tend to possess contagious corruption.…”
