“…However, if the steady-state level of income varies across economies because the structural parameters of the underlying production function are different for the economies under consideration, convergence to the economy-specific steady-state is characterized as conditional convergence. Many researchers have highlighted the factors that may contribute to differences in the growth rates and steady-state level of income across regions in the NMS: location advantages that facilitate the development of growth poles, differences in human capital endowments, differentiated impact of the restructuring process across regions and uneven spatial coverage of technical progress (BOGUMIŁ, 2009;BRUNCKO, 2003;MARELLI and SIGNORELLI, 2010a;OECD, 2011).…”

BANERJEE B. and JESENKO M. Economic growth and regional disparities in Slovenia, Regional Studies. Regional disparities in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and labour utilization have widened in Slovenia since 1999. However, regional gaps in per capita household disposable income have declined because of higher social transfers to the poorest regions, inter-regional commuting and other factors. Econometric analysis shows that there is heterogeneity in steady-states across regions, and regional growth in per capita GDP and labour productivity are converging to these region-specific steady-states. Time-series approach to convergence confirms stochastic trend convergence in both indicators for several regions. Labour productivity growth has been driven by capital deepening and growing importance of total factor productivity (TFP) improvement.

La croissance économique et les écarts régionaux en Slovénie, Regional Studies. Les écarts régionaux du Produit intérieur brut (Pib) par tête et de l'utilisation de la main-d'oeuvre se sont creusés en Slovénie depuis 1999. Cependant les écarts régionaux du revenu disponible ménager par tête se sont rétrécis à cause d'une augmentation des prestations sociales à destination des régions les plus défavorables, des déplacements quotidiens interrégionaux et d'autres facteurs. Une analyse économétrique laisse voir l'hétérogénéité des états d'équilibre à travers les régions, et la convergence de la croissance régionale du Pib par tête et de la productivité du travail vers ces états d'équilibre qui sont spécifiques à une région. Une approche à la convergence en série temporelle confirme la convergence stochastique des tendances quant à ces deux indicateurs-là pour plusieurs régions. La croissance de la productivité du travail a été pilotée par l'augmentation de capital et par l'importance grandissante de l'amélioration de la Productivité totale des facteurs de production (Ptf).

Wirtschaftswachstum und regionale Disparitäten in Slowenien, Regional Studies. Die regionalen Disparitäten beim Pro-Kopf-Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP) und bei der Arbeitskraftausnutzung haben sich in Slowenien seit 1999 verstärkt. Allerdings haben die regionalen Unterschiede beim verfügbaren Pro-Kopf-Haushaltseinkommen aufgrund von höheren Sozialtransfers in die ärmsten Regionen, interregionalem Berufspendlerverkehr und anderen Faktoren abgenommen. Eine ökonometrische Analyse zeigt, dass zwischen den Regionen het...

“…Bornhorst and Commander (2006) analyse the persistence of regional unemployment rates in six major transition countries. Finally, Marelli and Signorelli (2010b) explain employment growth in a large sample (at the NUTS-3 level of disaggregation) of regions in eight transition countries, included an index of progress in transition (computed from the EBRD statistics).…”

“…For instance, Marelli and Signorelli (2010b), in order to explain employment growth in a large sample (at the NUTS-3 level of disaggregation) of regions in eight transition countries, included an index of 'progress in transition' (computed from the EBRD statistics); the key finding was a negative effect of the 'transition index' on employment growth in a first period (1990-2000) that became positive in the years after 2000 (in fact the initial privatizations and market reforms were accompanied by rationalizations and restructuring processes causing negative effects on employment). 3 For both NMS and 'old' EU countries some other institutional elements have been considered 4 : e.g.…”

In this paper we empirically assess the evolution for the EU regions of both employment and unemployment before and after the Global Crisis. After a review of the literature on the theories and key determinants of regional unemployment, we shall overview the main findings concerning the labour market impact of the Global Crisis. The empirical analysis will initially be carried out at the national level including all EU countries; subsequently, we shall focus on the EU regions (at the NUTS-2 level), in order to detect possible changes in the dispersion of regional unemployment rates after the crisis. Our econometric investigations aim to assess the effect, on labour market performance, of previous developments in regional labour markets time series, as well as the importance of structural characteristics of the labour markets, in terms of the sectoral specialization of the regional economies. In fact, the local industry mix may have played a crucial role in shaping labour market performance in response to the crisis. In addition, we consider further characteristics of the regional labour markets, by including indicators of the level of precarization of labour and of the share of long-term unemployed, as indicators of the efficiency of the local labour markets. From a methodological viewpoint, we exploit eigenvector decomposition-based spatial filtering techniques, which allow us to greatly reduce unobserved variable bias -a significant problem in cross-sectional models -by including indicators of latent unobserved spatial patterns. Finally, we render a geographical description of the heterogeneity influence of past labour market performance over the crisis period, showing that the past performance has a differentiated impact on recent labour market developments.
