Abstract

On the basis of a complex methodology,the study shows that territorial disparities in the European Union have been decreasing since 2004, and, at the same time, examines the claim that the intense development and convergence of countries go hand in hand with regional divergences within these countries (at NUTS2 level). The results show that convergence occurred mainly during the recovery phases between crises causing significant downturns, and the development and catching-up tendencies of convergence countries have also contributed to that. While inequalities have been reduced in the EU, there seem to be increasing gaps between countries and regions, with the top performing better and better, while other countries and regions are becoming poorer compared to the average. When examining regional disparities within countries, divergence was mainly found in convergence countries and above- average performers achieving outstanding development.
2004年以来欧洲联盟不平等现象趋同的影响
基于一种复杂的方法,该研究表明,自2004年以来,欧盟的领土差异一直在减少,同时,研究了国家的强烈发展和趋同与这些国家内部的区域差异(在NUTS2水平上)齐头并进的说法。结果表明,趋同现象主要发生在经济严重衰退的危机之间的恢复阶段,趋同国家的发展和追赶趋势也对趋同现象有一定的促进作用。虽然欧盟的不平等现象有所减少,但国家和地区之间的差距似乎越来越大,顶尖国家和地区的表现越来越好,而其他国家和地区与平均水平相比却越来越差。在考察国家内部的区域差异时,差异主要出现在趋同国家和发展突出的平均水平以上的国家。
