Regional landscape of services in Central and Eastern European countries

Abstract: Transition brought about deep structural changes to Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC) and increased differences in regional development. The patterns of regional variation in services development in these countries are poorly explored. This article aims to narrow the gap in knowledge by relying on a modified economic base model and on convergence/divergence discourse. It is being argued that transition-related factors and structural characteristics explain different levels and trends in regional variation of services in individual CEEC. The lack of data hides divergent tendencies in the regional variation of individual services that need to be further addressed.
