Abstract
En este artículo se analiza la convergencia económica en los países del Centro y Este de Europa desde una amplia perspectiva temporal y espacial, que permitirá ofrecer evidencia comparada sobre los procesos de convergencia de las distintas regiones mundiales. La extensa cobertura de la base de datos analizada permitirá evaluar la trayectoria que ha experimentado el proceso de convergencia de los países del Centro y Este de Europa antes y tras su incorporación a la UE. En este análisis se aplicará la metodología de panel de datos estático y dinámico con el objetivo de contrastar los resultados y ampliar la evidencia disponible. La evidencia obtenida muestra que el proceso de convergencia europeo se mantiene tras la entrada de los países del Centro y Este de Europa en la Unión Europea. Además, se observa que este grupo de países han conseguido intensificar el proceso de convergencia en el periodo analizado situándose entre las regiones mundiales que alcanzan resultados más favorables.
This article analyzes the economic convergence in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe from a broad perspective, which will provide comparative evidence on the process of convergence for the different world regions. The extensive coverage of the database will make possible to assess the trajectory of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe before and after joining the EU. In this analysis we will apply the methodology of panel data in order to compare the results and expand the available evidence. The evidence shows that the European convergence process is maintained after the entry of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in the European Union. Furthermore, it appears that this group of countries have managed to intensify the process of convergence in the period studied and this group of countries achieving one of the more favorable results among the world regions.
