Sustainable Development and Regional Convergence: The Spanish Case

抄録

A common trend towards balance in regional inequalities is measured from the view of convergence of macroeconomic magnitudes. This paper analyses the Spanish regional disparities through synthetic indexes of sustainable development. By comparing the indexes of regional convergence obtained in the scope of sustainability with the values that are reached in traditional terms of GDP variations, we can show[DT1]empirically the validity of the dilemma between sustainable development and economic growth.
