Abstract: Abstract Over the past 40 years disparities in per capita income have certainly diminished between Western European countries. Regarding relative per capita income, the initial, and richer member states of the EU have stabilized their leading position, some finalizing a catching-up process, some ceasing to forge ahead. For the same reasons, EFTA members joining the European Union in 1995 have reached fairly similar relative per capita incomes as the rich EU core. The lagging peripheral countries of the EU have improved impressively in relative income, in a first step in the 1960s, and in a second step after 1986.
