dc.description.abstract | This article examines the trends in road traffic fatality rates in a sample of European States over the
1970–2010 period. Taking into account that previous research seems to find that the Europeanization
process has had a favorable impact on national road safety performance, our main contribution is to test
whether the same mechanism might lead to the convergence of Member States as a whole as a possible
outcome. Based on typical convergence methodology for Economic Growth Theory, our findings reveal
evidence of the full convergence of road fatality rates across a sample of EU countries during said time
period. Compared to the uncertain results obtained by the literature on macroeconomic convergence, we
do not find support for the convergence of sub-groups of countries, but a one-speed-convergence for all
EU countries. This fact shows that convergence is achievable in certain EU areas even beyond economic
convergence through successful efforts made jointly at national and community levels. | es |
