Summary/Abstract: This paper studies the convergence in economic development between different local communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1990–2010 time periods. We are testing the hypotheses that dispersion in level of real per capita income between municipalities decreases over time (Sigma-convergence). We also discuss on possible reasons for the observed trends. Results of this research can be useful for profiling and discussions about more balanced regional development policy, as well as for defining EU programmes and projects to support regional and local development of the county from 2014 to 2020.
