| Abstract: | European per capita incomes are not equal and do not stay constant, that is, regional income distributions fluctuate over time. Such a process could have a plenty of possible limiting outcomes, e. g. complete equality, stratification, and increasing inequality. The paper asks if nation-state, macro factors and physical-geography spill-over effects help explain the observed distribution dynamics across European regions. Geographical factors are found to matter more than national ones. Both are, however, important for explaining inequality dynamics. |
