Makroekonomická konvergence: případ zemí Visegrádské čtyřky

Abstract

It is widely acknowledged that in emerging from decades of central planning the new EU Member States have some way to go before they achieve anything close to economic convergence with old EU Member States (EU-15). The paper deals with the Visegrad group countries´s economic convergence with EU-15. The paper consists of two parts: (i) part one is focused on the process of real convergence and (ii) part two is focused on the process of nominal convergence. Influence of economic crisis is also discussed.
