Regional GDP Per Capita Ranged from 31% to 626% of the EU 34/2019 - 26 February 2019 GDP per capita in 281 EU regions Regional GDP per capita ranged from 31% to 626% of the EU average in 2017 Three quarters of the EU population live in regions where regional GDP per capita is above 75% of the EU average In 2017, regional GDP per capita, expressed in terms of purchasing power standards, ranged from 31% of the European Union (EU) average in the Bulgarian region of North-West, to 626% of the average in Inner London - West in the United Kingdom. As the graph below shows, there is a considerable variation both in the EU and within the Member States. This information is taken from data released by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. Variation of regional GDP per capita within EU Member States in 2017 in PPS, EU28 = 100 400650 National average EU28=100 550350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 Italy Malta Spain Latvia Ireland France Poland Greece Cyprus Austria Croatia Finland Estonia Sweden Czechia Belgium Bulgaria Portugal Hungary Slovakia Slovenia Romania Denmark Germany Lithuania Netherlands Luxembourg United Kingdom United The bar shows for each Member State the range from the region with the lowest value to that with the highest value. The leading regions in the ranking of regional GDP per capita in 2017, after Inner London - West in the United Kingdom (626% of the average), were Luxembourg (253%), Southern in Ireland (220%), Hamburg in Germany (202%), Brussels Region in Belgium (196%), Eastern & Midland in Ireland (189%) and Prague in Czechia (187%). There were 21 regions with GDP per capita 50% or more above the EU average in 2017: five were in Germany, two each in Ireland, Austria, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom and one each in Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, France, Slovakia, Poland and Sweden as well as Luxembourg. Population living in these 21 regions is 52.3 million persons. In all Member States where there are more than one region at NUTS2 level, the highest GDP per capita is in the capital region, except Berlin in Germany, Eastern & Midland in Ireland and Lazio in Italy. After North-West in Bulgaria (31% of the average), the lowest regions in the ranking were Mayotte in France and North-Central in Bulgaria (both 34%) and another region in Bulgaria: South-Central (35%). Among the 20 regions with GDP per capita below 50% of the EU average, five were in Bulgaria, four each in Greece and Hungary, three in Poland, two each in France and Romania. Population in these 20 regions is 22.9 million persons. It should be noted, however, that in some regions the GDP per capita figures can be significantly influenced by commuter flows. Net commuter inflows in these regions push up production to a level that could not be achieved by the resident active population on its own. There is a corresponding effect in regions with commuter outflows.

NUTS 2016 (valid from 1 January 2018) provides an uniform, consistent breakdown of territorial units for the production of regional statistics for the EU and lists 104 regions at NUTS 1, 281 regions at NUTS 2 and 1348 regions at NUTS 3 level. Methods and definitions GDP, and thus GDP per capita, provides a measure of the total economic activity in a region. It may be used to compare the degree of economic development of regions. GDP does not measure the income ultimately available to private households in a region. The PPS (purchasing power standard) is an artificial currency that takes into account differences in national price levels. This unit allows meaningful volume comparisons of economic indicators over countries. Aggregates expressed in PPS are derived by dividing aggregates in current prices and national currency by the respective Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). More detailed data for other variables and by NUTS 3 area is available up to the year 2016 at Eurostat's database. In the text of this News Release, the names of the regions are in English, while the tables in the annex list regions in the national language as set out in the NUTS.

It consists of the national air-space, territorial waters and the continental shelf lying in international waters over which the country enjoys exclusive rights, territorial exclaves, deposits of oil, natural gas etc. worked by resident units. Until 2011, the gross value added (GVA) produced in the extra-regio was allocated pro-rata to the inhabited regions of the country concerned. The order of magnitude of the extra-regio GVA depends in particular on the resource endowment in terms of natural gas and oil. For EU Member States the share of extra-regio GVA varies typically from almost zero to about 1.3% of total GVA at national level.

  • Showcasing Innovative Greece
    Showcasing Innovative Greece Edited by Christos Bezirtzoglou Foreword The first experimental activities to support innovation in relation to regional and social policy, effectively pi- oneering the development of the knowledge-based economy at regional level, were launched by the Commis- sion in 1993-94. Today, nearly one in three regional authorities across the EU-15 have formulated a Regional Innovation Strategy or a Regional Innovation Society Initiative, aimed at developing effective innovation sys- tems and spreading Information & Communication Technologies related know-how at regional level. A new system for European Regional Development Fund regional programmes of innovative actions was in- troduced in 2001 to underpin the Community priorities to increase regional competitiveness, technology and innovation by applying new forms of IT and promoting sustainable development. For first time, in 2002 the Region of Peloponnesus was actively involved into initiatives preparing the ground and paving the way for the promotion of innovation with the development of a Regional Innovation Strategy (RIPE programme). The strategic approach has been based on a widespread public debate that facilitates and promotes consensus and encourages a shared strategic view of the Region’s economy through the develop- ment of long term plans by businesses. The scheme has been fully endorsed and agreed upon by the relevant support agencies. In particularly, the project has provided an impulse for the region to tackle the issue of in- novation. In the case of the Information Society, for less information society mature prefectures of the region For prefectures with a lower level of awareness and maturity regarding the Information Society and what it entails, the RIPE programme promotion has proved crucial.

  • The Role of Innovation in Regional Development in Greece
    MASTER THESIS THE ROLE OF INNOVATION IN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN GREECE POSING A GREEK CASE STUDY BETWEEN THE DEBATE OF PLACE- BASED VS SPATIAL BLIND POLICIES BY THEODOROS SOUKOS SUPERVISOR PHILIP MCCANN UNIVERSITY OF GRONINGEN FACULTY OF SPATIAL SCIENCES RESEARCH MASTER IN REGIONAL STUDIES: SPACES AND PLACES, ANALYSIS AND INTERVENTION MASTER THESIS THE ROLE OF INNOVATION IN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN GREECE POSING A GREEK CASE STUDY BETWEEN THE DEBATE OF PLACE-BASED VS SPATIAL BLIND POLICIES BY THEODOROS SOUKOS ST. NUMBER: 2351366 SUPERVISOR PHILIP MCCANN GRONINGEN, AUGUST 2014 2 ABSTRACT The role of innovation in regional economic development attracts increasingly the interest of public policies. Especially among the regions of the EU, the innovation policy and its relation to the cohesion policy framework gather much of this interest. This master thesis examines the role of innovation policy in regional development of a particular case study region in Greece. In order to investigate this role, the master thesis draws a special attention into the debate between the spatial blind policy argument (World Bank) and the place-based policy argument (OECD) and their policy implications. The review of the theory and the policy debate provides the most important insights for guidance of this research. In the first stage of this research, the investigation of prominent documents and studies on innovation performance of Greece, Greek regions and the region of Attica in particular highlights some key policy areas for consideration. The second stage of this research is devoted to interviews with policy experts with respect to innovation. The results of the interviews were extracted through the framework analysis approach to qualitative research.

Market processes and policies that are supposed to spread prosperity and opportunity are no longer sufficiently effective. The evidence points to the existence of several different economic clubs of regions in Europe, each with different development challenges and opportunities. Both mainstream and heterodox theories have gaps in their ability to explain the existence of these different clubs and the weakness of the convergence processes among them. Therefore, a different approach is required, one that would strengthen Europe’s strongest regions but would develop new approaches to the weaker clubs. There is ample new theory and evidence to support such an approach, which we have labelled “place-sensitive distributed development policy” (PSDDP). > Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 1.

  • Notio Aigaio
    The added value of regional programmes of innovative actions stems from the lessons that can be drawn from these innovative approaches, which allow for experimentation with new ideas and the demonstration of new hypotheses. This ranges from the possibilities of identification of good practice, to the exchange of knowledge and experience that can be trans- ferred to the Community Support Framework mainstream programmes. This publication takes a closer look both at the first and second genera- tion of the Greek regional programmes of innovative actions. Based on their implementation experiences, it illustrates their individual actions in addition to attempting to produce diverse classification typologies of these Greek "innovative actions". Europe is more than a bloc of nations. It is also a collection of regions. But regional wealth variations remain high and in most Member States it is the regions with the capital cities that have the highest per capita GDP. It is widely accepted that each region needs to brand her global (global and local) image according to its unique physical and intangible assets. Practical activities need to be designed, implemented and monitored on the spot. I hope that this book will help policy makers and other regional innova- Showcasing Innovative Greece Innovative Showcasing tion policy practitioners to make more informed choices towards this goal.

  • Transition to First Birth During the Great Recession: the Case of Greece Charalampos Dantis and Ester Lucia Rizzi*
    Dantis and Rizzi Genus (2020) 76:1 https://doi.org/10.1186/s41118-019-0070-1 Genus ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Transition to first birth during the Great Recession: the case of Greece Charalampos Dantis and Ester Lucia Rizzi* * Correspondence: ester.rizzi@ uclouvain.be Abstract: In this study, we examine the effects of the economic uncertainty of Center for Demographic Research partners on the transition to first birth in Greece before and after the onset of the (DEMO), Université Catholique de recent economic crisis. After selecting a sample of childless couples, we applied a Louvain, Place Montesquieu, 1 / – L2.08.03, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, random effects model to EU-SILC data for the period 2005 2013. Few studies have Belgium focused on the association between economic uncertainty and fertility in Greece considering characteristics of both partners. Even fewer studies have examined panel data in the context of the recent crisis. Our findings show that Greek couples in which both partners are employed, have a high income, or are highly educated are in a more favourable position to have a first child. During the Greek Great Recession, corresponding in our study to the period 2010–2013, the odds of having a first child decreased to half the odds in the 2005–2009 period. The recession period also modified the effect of couples’ characteristics on first childbearing. During the economic crisis, male breadwinner couples were particularly penalized in their transition to have a first child. Surprisingly, couples with at least one temporary worker, usually the woman, were encouraged to have their first child.
