Comparative Analysis of the Dynamics of Indicator Changes GDP per Capita in the Regions of Greece, Germany and Romania

Recently, the subject of economic development of regions has a special place in economic literature. In numerous studies we find many ways to measure this phenomenon using various indicators. In most of them, regional GDP per capita is the main and most commonly used measure for measuring economic growth and development of the regions of the European Union. Sometimes it is treated as the simplest synthetic measure of regional development or convergence processes. It was used in the text to verify the dynamics of changes (2008-2017) of the relative position of the regions of Greece, Germany and Romania in transition matrices for Eurostat data. The test is a continuation of the research carried out by the author for Polish, Bulgarian, Slovak, Lithuanian regions, and the results of which have been published. The researchers' approach allowed to verify the degree of diversification of the economic strength of the studied regions and to conduct a comparative analysis of the dynamics of changes in the general distribution of income and the location of the regions studied in the transition matrices for regions of selected countries (NUTS2).
