Visegrad Group - Abstrakt
- Większość krajów postsocjalistycznych w Europie Środkowej i Wschodniej przystąpiła do Unii Europejskiej w 2004 roku. Integracja tych gospodarek z Unią rozpoczęła się wcześniej i została wzmocniona po akcesji dzięki dotacjom z funduszy strukturalnych. Jednym z ich celów jest ułatwienie procesu nadrabiania zaległości przez mniej rozwinięte regiony i ich konwergencji do średniej dla starszych państw członkowskich. W niniejszym badaniu poddano analizie sukces procesu nadrabiania zaległości w regionach NUTS3 w czterech krajach Grupy Wyszehradzkiej (V4), tj. w Czechach, na Węgrzech, w Polsce i na Słowacji, w latach 2000-2014, w stosunku do średniego poziomu dla 15 najstarszych państw członkowskich Unii Europejskiej. Czy proces nadrabiania zaległości występuje w każdym regionie, a jeśli tak to czy proces ten przebiega w podobnym tempie, czy też różni się ono istotnie w zależności od regionu? Analizie poddano zmiany PKB per capita według parytetu siły nabywczej, i zbadano dysproporcje w tempie nadrabiania zaległości za pomocą indeksów Thiela bazujących na entropii. Dokonano szczegółowej analizy dwóch czynników wpływających na proces nadrabiania zaległości w regionach. Po pierwsze, sprawdzono, czy proces nadrabiania zaległości w regionach odbywał się w podobny lub bardzo odmienny sposób w porównaniu z przeciętnym dla danego państwa. Po drugie, zbadano, w jaki sposób wielkość największego miasta w regionie wpłynęła na proces nadrabiania zaległości i czy można pokazać rolę największego miasta regionu. (abstrakt oryginalny)
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. (original abstract) - Dostępne w
