摘要
欧盟是当今一体化程度最高的区域组织,但伴随着成员国数量的不断增加、区域范围的不断扩张,减小区域内经济差距成为欧盟一体化的重要任务。选取欧盟为研究对象,基于欧盟统计局(Eurostat)的面板数据,运用σ检验与β检验方法测度1993年以来欧盟成员国经济增长的趋同效应。结果表明,1994—2007年σ趋同和1998—2007年的β趋同效应明显,其中β检验表明EU-27国的人均产出以每年1.27%的速度趋同,但欧洲非欧盟国家与欧盟国家不存在趋同,此外成员国之间制度、科技、贸易与投资等全方位的一体化是促进经济增长趋同的主要原因。
European Union is the regional organization with the highest integrated level in the world.The number of Member States has been increasing by,and the regional area have been expanding year by year.The issue of regional disparities has been a priority issue for EU.base on the pane data（1994-2007）from Eurostat,the paper take the approaches of s-convergence and β-convergence to examine the convergence tendency and the economic disparities of member states since 1993.It is suggested that the σ-convergence from 1994 to 2007 and β-convergence tendency from 1998 to 2007 is obvious.Addionally the β-convergence test show that the EU-27 member states converged at annual rate of 1.27%,but there are no apparent convergence between the Non-EU countries in Europe and EU states.Finally,we come to a conclusion that the main causes of growth convergence of EU member states is the effective Integration in S＆T,trade,investment and institution.
