Abstract

We complement the study of regional growth convergence by applying a new approach based on allometry used in biology and zoology. We show that although Italian economic growth has generated a process of regional imbalance in which some local systems have developed complementarily to the delayed development of others, allometric convergence has occurred in macro areas.
