Description
Summary:The article presents a comparative assessment of the differences in the economic structures of the different regions. The aim is to measure the difference that exists between the regions by tracking changes in the structure over a period covering development before, during and after the economic crisis. An answer to the question is whether the economic structure of a region is adequate to existing economic circumstances. On the basis of a structured approach in selected sectors and through a system of indicators the changes in the structure were examined; and through correlation coefficients the strength and direction of dependence of selected regional indicators established. The analysis showed that the different economic advantages available to individual regions lead to different economic potential, which in turn adds to the contrast between the regions. The dynamics, nature and depth of territorial inequalities predetermine structures that meet the comparative advantages of the regions and this, in turn, is the basis for a differentiated structural economic policy
