In this paper, we use a conditional-convergence econometric model to investigate whether the Cohesion Policy and the … ones. In this model, regional convergence depends on policy treatment and regional economic structure, proxied by … investment per capita and the demographic growth rate. The main originality of the model is its specification, dealing with …
