dc.description.abstract | In the field of economics and regional research, income convergence between countries and regions has been analysed since the 1980s. At the beginning of the 21st century, a number of articles addressing income convergence of European Union (EU) countries were published, which was among many topics related to the accession of 12 countries to the EU between 2004 and 2007. The inspiration for this study was the variety of conclusions about convergence in various groups of EU regions.The purpose of this article is to discuss the existing knowledge on the economic convergence of the EU regions and to expand it with the research results covering the period 2000–2021. The results confirm the convergence of incomes within EU regions, which translates into a change in the geographical distribution of income in the EU, slowly blurring the boundaries between the regions of the 2004/2007 enlargement countries and the countries located in the west and south of the EU. At the same time, no convergence within most of the biggest EU countries nor regions with well-developed knowledge-intensive sectors, were recorded. | en |
dc.description.abstract | W obszarze ekonomii i badań regionalnych badania konwergencji dochodów między krajami i regionami prowadzone są od lat 80. XX wieku. Na początku XXI w. ukazało się wiele artykułów poruszających kwestię konwergencji dochodowej krajów UE, co wiązało się m.in. z przystąpieniem w latach 2004–2007 dwunastu krajów do struktur Unii Europejskiej (UE). Inspiracją do przygotowania niniejszego opracowania była rozbieżność wniosków na temat występowania procesów konwergencji w różnych grupach regionów UE. Celem artykułu jest omówienie istniejącej wiedzy na temat procesów konwergencji gospodarczej regionów UE i poszerzenie jej o wyniki badań obejmujących okres 2000–2021. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają konwergencję dochodów w obrębie regionów UE, co przekłada się na zmianę geograficznego rozkładu dochodów w UE i powoli zacierające się granice między regionami krajów objętych procesem rozszerzenia 2004–2007 a krajami położonymi na południu i zachodzie UE. Jednocześnie nie odnotowano konwergencji w obrębie większości największych krajów UE oraz w ramach klubu regionów o rozwiniętym sektorze usług opartych na wiedzy. | pl |
