摘要:This paper investigates the extent of convergence amongst the 51 prefectures of Greece
during the time period 1970-2000. The main objectives are to discover whether there is
a convergence club amongst the regions, to establish whether there is a spatial pattern to
club membership, and to assess the impact of agglomeration effects and regional
capacities to innovate or adopt technology. The results suggest that there is a significant
spatial dimension to regional growth and that members of the convergence club are in
close spatial proximity. Technology spillovers are also significant in providing an
explanation of regional growth patterns.
