Abstract
Rattsø J. and Stokke H. E. Population divergence and income convergence: regional distribution dynamics for Norway, Regional Studies. Regional population divergence follows from in-migration to cities with high income levels. The dynamic relationship between population and income is investigated for Norwegian labour market regions using distribution analysis. Income convergence is shown to result from upward transitions in the income distribution by low- and middle-income regions, and the linkages between income growth and population growth are weak. The population-weighted income distribution diverges, since the expanding city-regions stay at the income top. People are moving to regions with the highest income levels, but these regions do not have the highest income growth.
