Abstract: Investments are a major driver of regional development, affecting the competitiveness and attractiveness of destinations through the agglomeration and growth macroeconomic cycle. Within this context, this paper conducts an analysis of the developmental laws 3299/2004 and 3908/2011 in Greece, aiming to understand their influence on various sectors and regions of the country. The analysis builds on cartographical assessments of categorical changes, Gini coefficient calculations for assessing investment inequality, and chi-square tests for investigating associations between the two developmental laws. This study underscores the importance of tailored regional development strategies that consider sectoral dynamics and evolving economic landscapes in Greece.
