Abstract
ABSTRACT Even though the evolution of regional economic activity is substantially explained by national/common economic shocks, regional economies can still engage in significant differential or divergent behaviours with regard to the national average across business cycles. In this article, we describe a modelling approach based on factor models that estimates differences in quarterly regional GDP levels and allows for the evaluation of the variables that best explain these differentials. To provide an example of the application of this approach, two Spanish regions are used: Andalusia and Catalonia.
