Analyse régionale ; Analyse statistique ; Convergence ; Distribution statistique ; Education ; Emploi ; Niveau d'instruction ; Niveau des revenus ; Norvège ; Probabilité ; Revenu per capita
This paper examines regional convergence of income and education in Norway. Results show that educationlevels converge and are equalised across the country, and this process coincides with income convergence. However, the test indicates
that transitions in the income and education distributions are basically unrelated. The educationlevel increases in large cities with limited income growth and the income growth is strong in regions with continued low educationlevel.

In seeking to identify the educational and vocational aspirations of young people from rural areas, the issue of the accessibility to different levels of education takes on great significance. It is obvious that a high level of education
is connected with broad horizons and a willingness to take on new ideas. The present article thus describes the unfortunate situation regarding educationallevels in rural parts of Poland as of the end of the 20th century. An attempt to explain the situation
of educational centres makes it impossible for the poor to gain access to education. - (BJ)

The Granger-causality between income and educational inequality : a spatial cross-regressive VAR framework
Educationallevel ; Employment ; Europe ; European Union ; Regional disparities ; Wage
This paper tests the causal processes between income and educational inequality within regions of the European Union, using a spatial cross-regressive VAR framework. The results show that there is a heterogeneous causality from income inequality
to educational inequality and vice versa, and interregional income and educational externalities are relevant to this causality. This finding raises potentially interesting economic policy implications.
