Economic Growth in the Regions of Europe, Sardadvar S. (2011), Berlin: Springer-Verlag.

Abstract

An ambitious endeavour to reconcile the faster empirical research with the slower theoretical modelling of regional growth and convergence is undertaken in this book by Sardadvar. To this end, the author introduces a spatial dependence component into the theoretical formulation of a neoclassical growth model and then provides an empirical application to European regions.
