“…On the other hand, within-country disparities grow (Fig. 2) as an effect of the concentration of development in core regions (see, for instance, Gorzelak and Smętkowski 2010, Smętkowski 2013Psycharis et al 2019).…”

An important channel through which less developed European countries have grown over the past twenty years is through the industrial transformation of their economies from low to higher value-added activities. The aim of the paper is to address the role of industrial transformation on regional imbalances, by analysing the different components of industrial productivity dynamics, namely the industrial composition, competition and reallocation effects. Based on both a shift-share analysis and a simulation analysis, the paper shows that the reallocation towards higher value-added sectors in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries could in fact lead to higher regional inequalities. Our empirical results lead us to claim that short-term normative interventions should go in the direction of supporting “modern and technologically advanced traditional sectors” rather than necessarily pushing CEE countries towards a high value-added industry specialization.

“…In the transition process of all the four countries significant regional disparities could be seen, as in all former socialist countries in terms of production decline, unemployment, and foreign direct investment (FDI) indicators (Bod et al, 2021) . Psycharis et al (2020), Tello et al (2019, and Burger and Šlampiaková (2021) have also highlighted the role of metropolitan areas in increasing regional inequalities in Central-Eastern Europe saying that nowadays cutting-edge technologies are more knowledge-intensive than the traditional ones and they are based on highly skilled workers and aim at the exploitation of R&D networks.…”

In the present study the authors examined the spatial disparities of the Visegrad four countries to see whether the lasting cooperation of the four countries resulted in harmonious economic development or increasing gaps between the years 2000 and 2018. Based on the research results it can be concluded that regional disparities between core and periphery regions of V4 countries still have not been eliminated to a significant extent. Despite the fact that the Visegrad Group has been in the EU for 18 years, the catching-up of its regions occurred with various speed, and no harmonised development can be observed within the Group.

“…The interest in these explorations is caused by the target of regional disparities equalizing largely generated by the different competitiveness of regions (Vida and Dudás 2017) and regional productivity disparities (Le Gallo and Kamarianakis 2010; Smętkowski 2018). The differences in the levels of economic development between the most advanced regions and the less well-off ones still require careful consideration for the formulation and implementation of appropriate policies for a territorially balanced development (Psycharis et al 2019).…”

“…European countries have also regional inequality in aggregate productivity as a result of industry mix across (Le Gallo and Kamarianakis 2010), economic specialization, urban hierarchy and spatial scattering of population (Psycharis et al 2019). Moreover, some regions being more productive than others, due to some aggregate factors.…”

“…For instance, agglomeration processes and concentration of human capital are leading to an increase in productivity (Le Gallo and Kamarianakis 2010; Laskowska and Dańska-Borsiak 2016). Territories with the concentration of highly skilled individuals and the technologically advanced environment are becoming more competitive, reinforcing the regional inequalities (Psycharis et al 2019) Researches reveal that tendency of growing differences is more pronounced when comparing the development of on core (metropolitan) and non-core (non-metropolitan) regions (Smętkowski 2018;Psycharis et al 2019).…”

Spatial Patterns of Production-Distribution-Consumption Cycle: The Specifics of Developing Russia

The existing body of academic literature reveals that production, distribution, and consumption might be both consistently connected and geographically scattered. This requires assessing the spatial order of production–distribution–consumption cycle, within which exploring of spatial relationship would be based on mutual dependence on each other’s of production, distribution and consumption. Hierarchical and spatial nesting of production, distribution, and consumption data allows us to apply hierarchical spatial autoregressive models (HSAR). The study was conducted on data from 2132 municipalities within 84 regions of the Russian Federation in 2018. The created models enabled distinguishing intraregional and interregional effects and highlighted the positive effect of spatial interactions in production volume. The calculations showed that population income, which determine the demand for goods are positively associated with production volume while relationship between manufacturing and wholesale is negative, resulting in revision of relations between wholesale and manufacturing enterprises and boosting ways of improvement the competitiveness of manufactured goods. The results allow us not only to enhance understanding of the spatial pattern of production–distribution–consumption cycle, but also to reveal new opportunities in the development of supply chain location policy.
