“…Regardless of the level of local communities, what is common is the positive impact of business development as one of the results of proper strategic planning, employment and population growth (Milovic et al, 2020). Regarding the significant links between entrepreneurship development and employment / unemployment programs, this impact has been confirmed in other EU regions (Kolaříková et al, 2018).…”

The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of European integration processes in Ukraine on the development of investment potential and institutional maturity of rural communities. As a result of the analysis of strategic documents of all rural communities of Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Rivne regions, a low level of institutional capacity to attract investments was established. Based on the analysis of the strategies, programs, and investment passports of 79 united territorial communities, it is found that only 39.2% of them have approved development strategies, and 45% of communities have socioeconomic development plans. To assess the challenges and threats arising during the process of implementation of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, the author's methodology was developed and the method of expert assessments was applied-the survey involved 75 experts from 20 regions of Ukraine. It is found that there are much more opportunities (59) than threats (17) at the level of rural communities. Such findings, together with low community activity in attracting investment and developing investment attractiveness, indicate that decentralization and new opportunities arising from European integration processes are still underutilized and are a sign of low institutional maturity of rural communities.

“…In the scientific literature, there are mainly two indicators, the differences in which can be considered as economic differences. Firstly, many studies of economic performance of regions and its differences (Dunford 2008;Stankevics et al 2014;Boronenko et al 2014;Kolaríkova et al 2018) use Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita indicator to assess the economic differences between territories. Secondly, several studies of the economic inequality among regions (Atkinson 1970;Lubrano 2017), as well as studies of the regional aspect of income differentiation (Lavrinovica, Lavrinenko 2011) use the income of the population for assessment of the economic differences between territories.…”

This article aims to test empirically two popular hypotheses about territorial economic differences in the modern world. According to the first hypothesis, economic differences between countries in the modern world are not as large as regions' differences within countries. According to the second hypothesis, the decline in the degree of economic differences between countries is due to the relatively faster economic development of capital regions. Investigation of the economic differences on various territorial levels realized applying the method of comparing the coefficient of variation of the income of the population. The source of the empirical data for this research is the Sub-national Human Development Index (SHDI) database created by the Netherlands Institute for Management Research of the Radboud University, which contains such indicator as Income index of SHDI in the inner regions of 161 countries in the world for the period from 2000 to 2017. A comparison of economic differences at different territorial levels revealed that in the 21 st century, neither in the world as a whole nor in the EU regions' differences within countries are higher than differences between countries. However, starting with 2015 the economic differences between inner regions of the EU countries began to outweigh the economic differences between countries themselves, and this is the specifics of the European Union. In the 21 st century, both inter-country and intra-country regional economic differences in the EU countries are significantly lower than in the world as a whole. The economic importance of non-capital regions is gradually increasing in the EU, although for the time being the EU (and probably the world as a whole) still characterized by the economic growth, which is based mainly at the expense of capital regions.

“…The basic evaluation methods include various (spatial) econometrics. Mathematical procedures that assess the impact of structural funds on economic and social development are usually based on regression and simulation models (Porgo et al, 2019;Bătușaru and Bucur, 2018) where, in most cases, these methods are applied to large territorial units such as countries, NUTS 1 or NUTS 2 levels (Mohl and Hagen, 2010;Kolaříková et al, 2018). Other methods reported in the literature deal with the ex-ante territorial assessment of policy impacts: these are the structural equation model (SEM) (Jestl et al, 2020) and the territorial impact assessment (TIA) (Evers, 2011).…”

The aim of this article is to find out how the state and EU subsidies paid in the Czech Republic since 2000 have been translated into the territory. The methodology is based on obtaining a continuous time series of data on subsidies for the smallest possible territorial level and comparing the impacts on territorial cohesion, with particular reference to structurally affected regions on the one hand and the areas of Integrated Territorial Investments (ITI) and Integrated Plan for the Development of the Territory (IPRÚ) on the other. The results show that the share of subsidies has increased steadily over the period under review. Per capita funding does not differ much between regions and no significant difference was found between assistance to structurally affected regions and the rest of the territory in the different support themes, which are mainly transport infrastructure, agriculture and education.
