“…Additionally, they divided NUTS-2 regions into four clusters and used the club convergence approach. The regional convergence was considered by Goecke and Hüther (2016) and Manzi et al (2023). Manzi, with co-authors, compared the convergence process occurring between European and Brazilian regions, pointing out the similarity in their dynamics of economic growth in the analysed period.…”

The study presents an analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economic convergence in the European Union (EU). It is widely known that every crisis can have a negative influence on the economic development of a country or region. This research analysed data for 233 EU regions on the NUTS-2 level in the years 2000-2020.analyzed To verify the occurrence of the convergence process, the spatio-temporal β-convergence models for pooled time series and cross-sectional data (TSCS) were estimated. Expandingthe convergence models with the dummy variables characterising two critical crises in the analysed period (the global financial crisis in 2007-2009 and the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020) allowed us to verify their impact on the regional convergence processin the EU. The main aim of this research is to assess the influence of presented crises on the economic convergence between EU regions. Because regions cooperate, the spatial element of the β-convergence models was also included. The additional aspect of the study is the comparison of the differences in strength of the influence of the mentioned crises on economic convergence.

This article aims to discuss left behind places in Brazil in the early 21st century. We conceptually debate the left behind places’ approach in dialogue with other contemporary theoretical perspectives. To evaluate regional inequalities in Brazil, we used the coefficient of variation, calculated at two different scales from 2002 to 2019 for GDP per capita, also considering social indicators. The results indicated a slow decline in regional inequalities. We debate the role of recently implemented public policies in this process, as well as the potentiality of these policies to identify left behind places and deal with them.
