Inter-Regional Disparities in the Czech Republic During the Transition
The article deals with the development of inter-regional disparities in the Czech Republic during the period of transition. Regional disparities are firstly set into wider context of regional development theories and consequently, disparities within the Czech Republic are compared with those in EU member states. Since the unemployment rate in the Czech Republic is unusually low, the interregional disparities seem small. However, the coefficient of variation reveals the contrary. Finally it is concluded that the inter-regional disparities in average incomes are still only a fraction of the disparities in economic preformance of the regions.
