Regional convergence, inequality, and space
批判性回顾了区域收入收敛研究中处理空间效应（空间依赖、异质性和尺度）的实证方法与进展，指出被忽视的领域并提出未来研究议程。
The study of regional income convergence continues to attract enormous attention. Recent emphasis has been placed on the underlying spatial dimensions of regional growth processes both from theoretical and empirical perspectives, as well as from exploratory and confirmatory methodological stances. This paper provides a critical review of empirical approaches and methodological advances with an emphasis on the treatment of spatial effects, namely spatial dependence, spatial heterogeneity, and spatial scale. A number of areas that have been overlooked are highlighted, and the paper suggests a research agenda on regional growth empirics.
