Regional Differentiation of Selected States of the Eastern Wing of the EU at the NUTS 2 Level in Relation to Rural Regions

Original language description

This article analyzes the current topic of regional disparities in the EU member states. Theaim of the present study is to assess the regional disparities in the selected countries, as wellas to identify the dynamics of the existing disparities in regional averages at the level of NUTS2 statistical administrative units. The framework of the text is narrowed down to a regionalanalysis of seven selected countries of the EU&apos;s eastern wing (Bulgaria, Czech Republic,Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia). The text also highlights the position of ruralareas and their role in the regional balance of the countries. The methodological approach isgrounded mainly in the analysis of the development of disparities based on the analysis ofempirical statistical data for the period 2001 to 2021, as well as on the assessment of themain features and trends of regional differentiation. To test convergence, the results of thecoefficient of variation of GDP per capita in PPP were compared. The research showed theexistence of significant differences in the economic development of the regions and differentconvergence tendencies. According to the results obtained, the countries studied weredivided into three groups. Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Romania and Slovakia recorded thefastest pace of internal balance, with the Czech Republic and Bulgaria showing the smallestregional differences at NUTS 2 level. The second group of countries is represented by Polandand Slovenia, which have seen minimal changes in internal differentiation, while bothcountries are the least internally diversified in the group of seven countries examined.Hungary was the only country with an increase in regional disparities in the period underreview, while Slovakia was one of the countries with the largest internal differences betweenregions. There is scope for future research to continue to monitor the evolution ofconvergence, including the impact of recent trends.
