Regional disparities in the European Union and the enlargement process: an exploratory spatial data analysis, 1995–2000 (2006, positive): “There is actually strong empirical evidence in favor of persistence of regional inequalities and in favor of North – South polarization in the EU (Armstrong 1995; López-Bazo et al. 1999; Boldrin and Canova 2001; Le Gallo and Ertur 2003).”
The dynamics of regional inequalities (2009, background): “This problem has been raised by several authors and may somewhat hamper the economic significance of studies using such data; see for instance, Davies and Hallet (2003) and Boldrin and Canova (2001).”

Spatial heterogeneity and interregional spillovers in the European Union: Do cohesion policies encourage convergence across regions? (2008, background): “The general impression is that b-convergence had come to a halt at the beginning of the 1980s and, at most, a very slow convergence was observed since the 1980s and early 1990s (Boldrin and Canova, 2001).”
Regional Convergence And The Impact Of European Structural Funds Over 1989-1999: A Spatial Econometric Analysis (2008, background): “Boldrin and Canova (2001) illustrate this problem linked to measuring a variable on a territorial unit artificially defined in which people are free to move.”
Spatial filtering, model uncertainty and the speed of income convergence in Europe (2013, methodology): “The speed of convergence can be computed using a log-linearization around the steady-state of the Solow model as λ = −(1/τ)[1− exp(−βτ)], where τ is the length of the period considered in the growth variable (see for instance Barro and Sala-i-Martin (2003)).”
IDENTIFYING AND I NTERPRETING R EGIONAL CONVERGENCE CLUSTERS ACROSS EUROPE (2005, background): “As a result, the theory of and the evidence on long-run trends in regional per capita incomes and output are of critical relevance to the EU regional convergence and regional policy debate (Boldrin and Canova, 2001).”
Going NUTS: The Effect of EU Structural Funds on Regional Performance (2010, neutral): “However, Boldrin and Canova (2001) came to similar conclusions when focusing on regional growth within the EU and comparing recipient and non-recipient regions.”
The Determinants of Economic Growth in European Regions (2014, background): “4 B oldrin and C anova (2001) , for instance, investigated income convergence in European Union regions and its relationship to regional policies, and concluded with a critical assessment of regional economic policies.”
Fertile Soil for Structural Funds? A Panel Data Analysis of the Conditional Effectiveness of European Cohesion Policy (2002, positive): “The econometric evaluations, to which this study belongs, consist of analyses of regional economic growth (see, for example, Boldrin and Canova, 2001; Dall'erba and Le Gallo, 2003) or studies that examine the impact of cohesion policy within one specific country (see, for example, De la Fuente…”

Bruges European Economic Research (BEER) Papers 1/November 2004 (2004, background): “…a half has thus been one of national convergence and regional stability or even divergence, which becomes more evident when the problems of spatial dependence are taken into account in growth models (Magrini, 1999; Rodríguez-Pose, 1999; Cuadrado-Roura, 2001; Boldrin and Canova, 2001; Puga, 2002).”
How Do Firms Agglomerate? A Study of FDI in France (2000, neutral): “Note also that this paper is not the first to find little or no effect of European structural funds on regional attractiveness and growth (see Boldrin and Canova, 2001; Ferrer, 1998; Martin, 1998).”
Growth, Integration, and Regional Disparities in the European Union (2005, background): “From a policy perspective, our findings provide new evidence for the increasing number of voices that suggest the need to revise current EU regional development policies (Boldrin and Canova, 2001; Puga, 2002; Rodr|̈guez-Pose and Fratesi, 2004).”
