“…Shortly after the start of the transition, regional disparities in income and employment had already became increasingly evident ( Petrakos, 1996 , Petrakos, 2001 ) due to the inability of some regions to adapt to the shock of transition to a market economy ( Fazekas, 1996 ) in large part because of their structural characteristics ( Ezcurra & Pascual, 2007 ; Monastiriotis, Kallioras, & Petrakos, 2017 ). Moreover, throughout the past twenty years, higher productivity, per capita GDP and population growth have characterized CEE's capital cities and the regions surrounding them ( Babecký & Komárek, 2020 ; Neumann, Budde, & Ehlert, 2014 ). Thus, even as the CEE countries have been catching up with the old EU members in terms of per capita GDP, within the CEE countries, incomes and productivity have been diverging between the rich and poor regions.…”

“…In most CEE countries, divergence took place (the richer the region, the higher the GDP growth) (Nazarczuk, 2013). This way, the interregional development gap within EU Member States, in particular the CEE countries, is widening, which means that there are processes of income polarisation present in these regions (Neumann, Budde, & Ehlert, 2014).…”

The paper evaluates the processes of regional income convergence in Poland. This new research approach involves an attempt to assess the process of convergence from the point of view of development gaps. Six key development gaps were considered in the region of Eastern Poland, which is a singular case, significantly different from other regions. A dynamic panel data model was applied to investigate the impact of EU funds on the progress made towards closing these development gaps. Among the analysed development gaps, only the structural gap was not reduced in the period 2004–2015. Studies have also revealed the different impact of structural funds on each category of development gaps (a positive impact on reducing the regional transport accessibility gap and the investment gap, but negative – on reducing the innovation gap). Research has suggested the need for a change in the structure of using EU funds in the period 2014–2020 to favour stronger support for entrepreneurship and the creation of new jobs. Greater stimulation of the economic structure of peripheral regions has been proposed as the prerequisite for the future reduction in the discrepancies between regions and for the intensification of convergence.

“…In the cohesion policy of the European Union, regional catching up is primarily considered at the NUTS2 territorial level. Today, an increasing number of analyses concerning the growth of regions are based on NUTS3 level, which refers roughly to a city and its agglomeration (Goecke, Hüther 2016;Neumann et al 2014;Smetkowski 2015). The European Union typed the NUTS3 regions according to the size of the cities and the population density of the region 2 : predominantly urban regions, intermediate regions, and predominantly rural regions.…”

The Catching up Processes of the Regions of the Visegrad Group Countries

The majority of Central and Eastern European post‑socialist countries acceded to the European Union in 2004. The integration of these economies to the Union had begun earlier, which was strengthened by grants from the Structural Funds after the accession. One of their aims is to facilitate the catching up processes of less developed regions and their convergence to the average of older member states. In our study1, we examine the success of the catching up processes of the NUTS3 regions in the four Visegrad Group countries (V4), i.e., the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, between 2000 and 2014 to the average of the 15 initial member states of the European Union. Is there a process of catching up in each region, and if so, is it at a similar or a highly different rate? We analyze the development of GDP per capita at Purchasing Power Parity, and we examine disparities in the level of catching up using entropy‑based Theil indexes. We provide a detailed analysis of two of the influencing factors of the catching up process of regions. Firstly, we look at whether the catching up process of the regions took place in a similar or very different way compared to the national average. Secondly, we examine how the size of the biggest city of the regions affected catching up, and whether the role of the biggest city of region can be shown.
