This study provides an alternative view on regional convergence. A model is developed which attributes club-convergence to existing differences with respect to the degree of technology adoption. In the first instance, empirical results suggest that the NUTS-2 regions of the EU-27 converge at a very slow rate. Further tests, however, indicate that convergence is restricted to a specific subset of regions. Such conclusions are tested further, using an alternative model of club-convergence, which incorporates the impact of spatial interaction, agglomeration externalities and technology. This shows that the convergence-club in Europe follows a certain geographical pattern and all members share similar characteristics regarding technology creation and adoption, and agglomeration externalities. . 410 0$aAdvances in Spatial Science, The Regional Science Series,$x1430-9602 606 $aConvergence (Economics)$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xEconomic conditions$xRegional disparities 607 $aEurope$xEconomic policy 615 0$aConvergence (Economics) 676 $a338.9 700 $aAlexiadis$b Stilianos$01062527 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438092203321 996 $aConvergence Clubs and Spatial Externalities$92532793 997 $aUNINA
