BRIDA, Juan Gabriel; GARRIDO, Nicolás  and  LONDON, Silvia. ESTUDIO DEL DESEMPEÑO ECONÓMICO REGIONAL: EL CASO ARGENTINO. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2013, vol.32, n.60, pp.399-427. ISSN 0121-4772.

This paper examines the economic performance of Argentinian provinces during the period 1961-2000. Performance is defined for different economic regimes to determine the growth and output of GDP per capita during this period. The introduction of hierarchical clustering techniques enabled the detection of two main clusters of high and low performance. An examination of the evolution of the clusters showed that countries can change cluster and that the distance between clusters increases with time. The results are compared with empirical evidence for economic convergence in the Argentinian case.

Keywords : Economic performance; hierarchical clusters; economic dynamics.
