Economic Integration, Regional Convergence and Growth in North America
Palabras clave:
Economic Convergence, North America, Regional Economic Growth, Economic IntegrationResumen
The study looks at regional convergence and economic integration in the North American region from a theoretical as well as an empirical perspective. The study provides the empirical evidence of North American regional growth and economic convergence. The existence of a catching-up convergence and economic integration process is observed, with differentiated behaviors for quite a number of regions, that suggest the possibility of different equilibrium tendencies in the long-run for the Mexican States versus the regions of Canada and the United States.
