Connection between Employment, Commuting and Taxable Income Levels in Northeastern and Northwestern Hungary

Summary/Abstract: The current paper puts the emphasis on the spatial pattern of employment, commuting and taxable income with special regard to the changes that occurred following the regime change. The objective is to discover the important relationship between the income level and distance from the centres of employment by the example of two characteristic territories of Hungary – Northeastern and Northwestern Hungary – and give a comparison of two more developed and two less developed regions. Decreasing income level tends to appear with the increasing distance from the centres as shown by the results of calculations. More significant disparities were represented within the hinterlands of the less developed territory and moderate inequalities were pointed out within the more developed one. Clear convergence process can be seen in the light of the recent income data in the case of the larger hinterlands of northeastern Hungary as the result of the suburbanization, however the convergence has been general within the western part since the mid 1990’s. This relationship seems to be an important part of the Hungarian tendencies and spatial pattern of income disparities. The results of the current analysis fit into the most important experiences of post socialist transition and regional inequalities.
