Abstract

The paper takes into consideration the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and of the economic crisis on the NUTS2 public administrations in Romania. The authors propose a new econometric model able to offer concrete solution to the decision makers in order to realize the economic restart. The analysis covers all 8 NUTS2 regions and Romania and is based on statistical data during 2008-2020. These data were transposed on a matrix, obtaining trend curves of the financial performance dynamics (reflected by the obtained turnover) of the entities from the primary, secondary and tertiary sector, according to the CAEN code. The trend curves were analysed segmented by regions in order to obtain the economic evolution of each region. The main conclusion of the paper is that there is a powerful connection between the moment of the economic restarting and the dimension of the socio-economic costs in each NUTS2 region.
