Abstract

The article deals with the development of disparities in regional per capitaGDP and convergence processes in the enlarged EU. A NUTS2 data for the EU-27 countriesis analysed for the period 1995-2008. Poorer European regions show higher average growthrates such that convergence might be reasonably expected. However, the convergence process is slow and it has been driven mainly by national factors. In the course of this process, regional disparities within the new member states countries have actually increased. Furthermore, the economic agglomeration has increased because capital cities. The results may have important policy implications.
