“…In literature, the best practices for social inequalities (Benyaklef 1997;Michálek and Podolák 2010) and economic inequalities in regional development (Arndt and Sundrum 1975;Banerjee and Jesenko 2015;Barjak 2001;Buckwalter 1995;Clercq and Naert 1985;Ezcurra and Rodríguez-Pose 2013;Galbraith and Garcilazo 2010;Huang, Kuo and Kao 2003;Pérez-Moreno and Angulo-Guerrero 2016) are scientifically elaborated. Trends in regional polarization and econometric model of regional disparities are successfully described in the article on Baláž (2007), and regional inequalities in the articles (Cardoso 1993;Casellas and Galley 1999;Dunford, Key Laboratory of Regional Sustainable Development Modeling (IGSNRR) and Perrons 2012; Ezcurra and Pascual 2007;Kluvánková-Oravská 2004;Lessmann 2014;Ozornoy 1991;Sawers 2006;Smętkowski 2013;Torrisi et al 2015).…”

This article evaluates interregional inequality among Macedonian regions in the period 2008-2014 by employing statistical measures of regional inequality, including the coefficient of variation, Gini coefficient of concentration and Theil index. Regional inequality is analyzed by using socioeconomic indicators, namely the GDP per capita, registered unemployment rate, gross fixed capital formation and entrepreneurial activity. The results show the changing interregional inequality at the level of NUTS 3 regions. The strong polarization between Skopje Region and the rest of the country is the most remarkable feature of regional development in Macedonia between 2008 and 2014.

“…Nevertheless, the period of post-communist transformation brought significant economic and social problems (Smith, 1996(Smith, , 1998Buček, 1999;Horňák, Rochovská, 2014;Rochovská et al, 2015) leading to considerable stagnation and a severe decline in some of the crucial social and economic indicators (Banerjee, Jarmuzek, 2010;Švecová, Rajčáková, 2013), accompanied by increasing unemployment especially affecting ethnic minorities (Bleha et al, 2014, Rusnáková, Rochovská, 2014, Máliková, Klobučník, 2017. Neither did EU-funded projects succeed in bringing a positive change to its development (Kluvánková-Oravská, 2004).…”

The retailing sector seems to be rather sensitive to social and economic developments in a society. In contrast to global retail network trends, specific processes may be observed in some lagging regions in post-communist countries. In the article attention is paid to spatial changes in food and non-food retailing locations in the region of Gemer, one of the least developed regions of post-communist Slovakia. The retailing network transformation between 1996 and 2012 was measured by applying retail capacity calculations for surplus or deficit, related to the population size of municipalities within the region. In the article, we examine food and non-food retail locations in the Gemer region with a special focus on spatial changes (urban vs rural) as well as temporal and trends based on retail capacity growth indices. In conclusion, the findings suggest that rural food and non-food retailing businesses have gone through considerable change and that it is not in harmony with the globalisation processes visible in the urban environment. Specifically, retail capacities (both food and nonfood) in the Gemer region are witnessing a period of growth.
