Abstract
Artykuł zawiera ocenę zbieżności rozwoju gospodarczego w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej w porównaniu z Unią Europejską pod względem wyrównywania poziomów dochodów oraz podobieństwa wahań koniunktury. Analiza obejmuje lata 1993-2003. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na zbadanie zbieżności rozwoju 8 krajów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, które przystąpiły w 2004 r. do Unii Europejskiej (Czechy, Estonia, Litwa, Łotwa, Polska, Słowacja, Słowenia i Węgry), zarówno między nimi, jak i względem dotychczasowego obszaru Wspólnoty (UE-15). Zbieżność poziomów rozwoju została przeanalizowana przez porównanie wysokości dochodu per capita oraz stóp wzrostu realnego PKB na 1 mieszkańca. Zbieżność wahań cyklicznych została zbadana przez analizę dynamiki produkcji przemysłowej oraz wskaźników koniunktury w przemyśle opartych na wynikach badań ankietowych.

The paper presents the analysis of the economic convergence among 8 countries of CEE (new entrants to the EU) and the EU-15. The equalisation of income levels is measured by b and s coefficients while the synchronisation of cyclical movements is analysed by the changes in the industrial production index and industrial confidence indicator based on survey data. The analysis covers the period 1993-2003. CEE countries reveal a market convergence with the European Union, both as regards incom levels and cyclical fluctuation. The CCE countries also show some convergence between themselves, particulary within the three subregional groups. Trade and capital links between the CEE countries and the EU have been already very strong. Therefore, we should not expect a significant acceleration of economic convergence just after their EU-accession. As compared with the other studies by now, this analysis shows a much stronger economic convergence between CEE and EU. (original abstract)
