Abstract
We build a multidimensional indicator of regional development and perform a convergence analysis using Uruguayan data for the period 2006–2015. The multidimensional departmental indicator collapses four dimensions of development, allowing us to track the performance of region son different factors of development. Our findings rule out the hypothesis of global convergence for the period analyzed. We nevertheless identify convergence in clubs, distinguishing three groups of departments, with a geographical correspondence, that exhibit specific development dynamics. These clubs follow their own path and do not converge in the period analyzed, even though their transition curves get slightly closer.
Keywords: regional economic development; multidimensional indicator; convergence; clubs.
