      abstract = {This paper examines how income inequality varied as new  countries joined the European Union. We consider a  convergence test of contributions to international income  inequality of 32 European countries over the period  1989-2002. The results indicate a weak convergence of  contributions to inequalities. The average speed of  inequality convergence gets lower as the number of  countries in the union increases. We also find that the  effect of technological inequalities is significant and  depends on the level of wealth of a country. Taking into  account the heterogeneity of behavior through the  convergence parameter suggests that the speed of inequality  convergence varies across countries.},
