abstract = {We investigate the convergence process among EU regions between 1980-2002 taking
into account the effects of spatial heterogeneity and spatial spillover effects. The spatial
regimes model allows for different steady-state growth paths. In contrast to previous
analyses, the regimes in this paper refer to spatial categories, i.e. we assume that agglomerations,
urbanised and rural regions are characterised by group-specific steadystates.
Moreover, the regression analysis considers the effects of interaction among
neighbouring regions, possibly leading to a spatial dependence of regional growth rates.
We check whether spatial dependence is caused by spatial spillovers or based on country
effects.},
