The aim of this paper, which forms part of a wider research project, is to analyse changes in regional disparity in the European Union between 1977 and 1999 by calculating the level of internal and external inequality in various groupings of regions.

The subject of this paper is the regional economic effects of revitalisation of industrial sites.The paper describes a input-output approach for estimating the regional economic effects and discusses some issues that arise when input-output analysis is applied on industrial site.

Convergence among regions, according to the author, might be responsible for a propensity to national growth. In the same way, if there is a sub regional division (with different economic realities the same phenomenon should be verified. Thus, sub-regional convergence should lead to regional growth. This regional desegregation of space (in political terms) varies from country to country.

The paper presents results from various indicators on the differences in regional specialisation in the current as well as in the new member states of the European Union.

The empirical economic growth literature is criticized for its lack of robustness. For different definitions of robustness, conclusions vary from almost every correlation is fragile to a substantial number of explanatory variables are robust. The authors re-analyze the empirical results of the economic growth literature for various alternative definitions of robustness using quasi-experiments.

The paper investigates the experience of three Nordic universities, Aarhus in Denmark, Joensuu in Finland, and Tromsö in Norway, which are comparable in several respects. Drawing from the comparison of the three cases, the conclusions focus on the realisation of a universitys local and regional development potential.
