Abstract:
The differences among the regions of Europe are not only those of income and employment, but there are many other important and different circumstances affecting social welfare: education, health, justice or public satisfaction with government institutions. The purpose of this paper will be to analyse the differences among regions by means of social welfare and economic indicators. Furthermore, with the use of econometric models, we will identify the causal factors underlying these varying circumstances.
