Bordering Dynamics in Sports among Spanish and French Border Regions
The role that sports play in cross-border cooperation still remains unclear and under-researched. This paper aims to address this gap by conducting a qualitative study on the impact of basketball and hiking/mountaineering on cross-border cooperation in the New Aquitaine, Basque Country, and Navarre (NAEN) Euroregion. The research identified some significant barriers to enhancing cross-border sports cooperation, primarily associated with regional …
Agricultural productivity in the European regions: Trends and explanatory factors
This paper examines the spatial distribution of agricultural productivity in the European regions for the period 1990–2000, using a twofold descriptive and explanatory approach that allows us to overcome some of the drawbacks of conventional convergence analysis. The spatial distribution of agricultural productivity is summarized in a regional typology that enables us to evaluate the distribution of agricultural productivity and trends across Eur…
Regional Dynamics and Convergence Profiles in the Enlarged European Union: A Non‐parametric Approach
This paper examines the evolution of spatial disparities in labour productivity in the enlarged European Union, using data on 250 NUTS‐2 regions over the period 1991–2003. To achieve this aim, a non‐parametric approach that allows us to analyse the external shape and dynamics of the entire cross‐sectional distribution has been applied. The estimates show the distribution under consideration to have a bimodal structure, which raises the possible p…
The Spatial Distribution of Income Inequality in the European Union
In this paper we examine the distribution of income inequality among the regions of the European Union from 1993 to 2000. The results obtained show that the levels of inequality vary considerably between regions. Nevertheless, we have detected a high level of positive spatial dependence in the distribution under consideration. However, 57% of the regions considered registered no statistically significant variations in the degree of income dispers…
Regional Disparities and National Development Revisited: The Case of Western Europe
This article explores the relationship between regional inequality and economic development level in 14 Western European countries for the period 1980–2002. The results, which were obtained by means of a semi-parametric methodology, indicate the presence of a process of regional divergence once a certain level of development has been reached. Nevertheless, in contrast to the available empirical evidence for the United States, our estimates show t…
The Spatial Distribution of Welfare in the European Union
In this paper we examine the regional distribution of welfare in the European Union between 1993 and 2000. In order to achieve this aim, we use a set of econometric techniques proposed in the literature for dealing with spatial data. The results obtained reveal the presence of positive spatial dependence in the variable of interest. This means that spatially close regions register similar welfare levels in the European context. The empirical evid…
Regional Specialization in the European Union
Ezcurra R., Pascual P. and Rapún M. (2006) Regional specialization in the European Union, Regional Studies 40, 601–616. This paper examines productive specialization in the regions of the European Union between 1977 and 1999 using the information provided by a set of methodological instruments that allow one to overcome several of the limitations of the conventional approach used in this type of analysis. The results obtained reveal a process of …
Inequality, Polarisation and Regional Mobility in the European Union
This paper examines the distribution dynamics of regional per capita income in the European Union between 1977 and 1999. To achieve this aim, a non-parametric approach is combined with the information provided by various measures used in the literature on personal income distribution. The results obtained suggest that regional inequality and polarisation have decreased in the European context over the period considered. Likewise, the observed lev…
Regional inequality in the European Union: Does industry mix matter
Ezcurra R., Gil C., Pascual P. and Rapún M. (2005) Regional inequality in the European Union: does industry mix matter?, Regional Studies 39 , 679–697. The aim of this paper is to test for the respective roles of regional and sectoral factors in productivity convergence in the European Union between 1977 and 1999. The methodology used for this is a new one that combines an alternative version of shift–share analysis with various results quoted in…
