| This paper studies the empirical relationships that have settled down in the Spanish regions between public investment and per capita income growth over period 1965-1995. From a neoclassical growth model with public and human capital, we derive a convergence equation that is estimated through panel data techniques. Besides providing evidence in favour of the conditional convergence hypothesis, the results show a negative effect of productive public investment on the rate of regional economic growth. On the other hand, public investment in education, although not very significant, and public resources devoted to health investment offer a positive correlation with the increment of per capita income. Alternative estimates to dealt with the possible endogeneity of some variables as well as changes in the specification confirm the thick of the previous results. |
