Sammendrag
The work discussed in Bivand and Brunstad (2003) was an attempt to

throw light on apparent variability in regional convergence in relation to agriculture

as a sector subject to powerful political measures, in Western Europe,

1989–1999. The present study takes up a number of points made in conclusion

in that paper. Since it is possible that the non-stationarity found there is

related to further missing variables, including the inadequacy of the way in

which agricultural subsidies are represented, we attempt to replace the agriculture

variables with better estimates of producer subsidy equivalents. It is

also sensible to check that agricultural support is not masking or masked by

other variables, for example human capital. The paper is also an account of

the development of software contributed to the

R

project (R

Development Core

Team, 2005) as packages, in particular the spdep package for spatial econometrics.

New functions generously contributed by researchers will be presented

and compared. We find that agricultural support does impact regional

economic growth after human capital is taken into consideration, and that we

can show that apparent non-stationarity is alleviated by adding these variables.

We further find that the moderated remaining spatial autocorrelation can best be represented by a substantive spatial lag model.
