Abstract

Abstract In this paper Danish regional income differences over a period offifty years have been analysed. The basic tool of analysis is the ‘Catch-up’ hypothesis, which is usually applied in internationally comparative studies of income growth and convergence. The main finding of the empirical analysis is that a significant convergence in regional income at county level has taken place since the Second World War. Besides the pure catch-up explanation, it is argued that some part of the convergence in incomes is due to narrowing of differences in industrial-structure and education. Despite these tendences, the Copenhagen area still remains the leading region in Denmark.
