Abstract
Celem artykułu jest omówienie kierunku rozwoju metodologii badania konwergencji gospodarczej, wskazującego na potrzebę uwzględniania w modelach wzrostu regionów powiązań przestrzennych między nimi. Artykuł prezentuje empiryczne modele β-konwergencji dotyczące wzrostu gospodarczego regionów Europy, otrzymane przy wykorzystaniu różnych koncepcji metodologicznych. W artykule rekomenduje się modele z zakresu ekonometrii przestrzennej. Dane empiryczne dotyczą PKB per capita w regionach NUTS-2 27 państw europejskich, będących członkami Unii Europejskiej. Zakres czasowy analizy obejmuje lata 1995-2009 (dane roczne). (abstrakt oryginalny)

The aim of the paper is to discuss the course of development of methodology of economic convergence analyses, which points up the necessity of taking into consideration spatial connections among regions in regional growth models. It presents empirical models of β-convergence concerning the economic growth of European regions using various methodological conceptions. In the paper the models offered by spatial econometrics are recommended. The empirical data refer to per capita GDP across the European Union regions at a NUTS-2 level over the period 1995-2009 (annual data). (original abstract)
