Changes in territorial inequalities of economic dependence determining factors in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, 2000–2020

Summary/Abstract: The study examines the background of the improving economic position of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county between 2000 and 2020 in the light of the balance sheet data of the county’s double-entry bookkeeping enterprises. Utilising the ideas of the trade-off theory, seeks the answer for questions like which districts determined the county’s real convergence processes to the greatest extent, how internal inequalities changed during the catching up period, what kind of structural changes facilitated the processes, i.e. how the long-term factors affecting the county’s economic dependence changed in the meanwhile? The study evaluates dependence in terms of economic power growth, embeddedness in foreign markets and eco-nomic vulnerability. The research established that trade-off theory prevailed during the county’s economic catching up, i.e. the inequality scale changed. At the same time, it can also be stated that the inequalities between the national economy’s core areas and the over-whelming majority of the peripheral districts remained essentially unchanged in the last twenty years, just a definite clubbing process took place. The catching up has been achieved by an increasing ratio and volume between the export and the domestic registered capital, improving the resilience of the economy, the one-sidedness of the economic structure driving the catching up, however, is leading to instability.
