Abstrakt:
The development of consumption source indicators and performance of NUTS 2 in the EU for a period from 2000 to 2009 is investigated considering Krugman’s idea of living standards increasing based on levels of worker performance related to EU policy convergence. We aim to assess correlations of selected indicators and compare the dynamics of their development for the whole sample, to evaluate the effectiveness of EU regional policy and to discuss the possible modification of its instruments.
