Abstract

The paper studies the hierarchy of the 276 European Nuts 2 regions? Gdp per capita between 2000 an 2015. From a methodological point of view, the paper follows previous work on urban hierarchies. The paper?s results show that the European structural mechanisms and policies have been rather efficient until 2008 and have allowed the convergence of regional Gdps. The less developed regions? Gdp increases faster than the Gdp of other regions during this period. Nevertheless, this process changes after 2008 and the European mechanisms of convergence don?t seem to work after this period. After 2008, the inequalities in regional Gdp per capita seem to grow again which leads to a two-speed Europe. Codes JEL: R11, R12, C23
