报告摘要
This study analyses the gaps in financial centres’ competitiveness and their impact on regional economic convergence in 23 EU Member States during the period of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). First, we examine the speed and trend of convergence (divergence) of European financial centres’ competitiveness and the economic convergence of the regions where they are located. From a methodological viewpoint, this is the first paper so far that applies a non-parametric technique to the club convergence model and tackles the endogeneity problem in the convergence literature. Our results show that the large and internationally-oriented financial centres experienced a divergent trend in terms of the competitiveness of the financial centres’ business environment during the peak of the crisis in 2008. We further contribute to current research by exploring the economic convergence and divergence patterns among regions from two different sites across the selected EU Member States and within each country. We find evidence that the convergence of financial centres reduces regional economic inequalities between the regions where financial centres are located. In contrast, the increase in the competitiveness of financial centres only serves to widen existing inequalities at the national level. Finally, we examine and discuss the impact of competitiveness drivers of financial centres on the convergence pattern of EU regions.
