We find that regional disparities in the levels of GDP per capita, labor productivity, and labor utilization have widened since 2000, coinciding with the time that Slovakia initiated negotiations on EU accession. Notwithstanding ?-divergence in the levels, there was conditional ?-convergence in the growth rates of GDP per capita and labor productivity. Improvements in total factor productivity were the main engine of growth of GDP in all regions. Sustaining growth and reducing disparities will requi 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/09/145. 607 $aSlovakia$xEconomic policy 607 $aSlovakia$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 700 $aBanerjee$b Biswajit$0979716 701 $aJarmuzek$b Mariusz$0894044 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bEuropean Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464016403321 996 $aAnatomy of regional disparities in the Slovak Republic$92234360 997 $aUNINA
