摘要：Market forces allocate new investment activities in locations where rates of return from investments are the greatest. Urban locations and a country's capital are often the most favourable locations. The European Unions' (EU) regional, structural and cohesion policies aim at mitigating extreme differences in the level of economic development between the EU member countries and within the country by regions. With the most recent enlargement of the EU towards the East there are now considerable differences in the levels of economic development within the enlarged EU. With the entry of poorer countries the average level of economic development has declined. The differences in the level of development are most evident at some cross-border areas between more and less developed EU member countries. This paper addresses possible extreme situations at cross-border areas when in one country they might be eligible for "equity" measures, but not in another one, although both countries have approximately similar levels of economic development. This paper analyses the cross-border areas between Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia using indicators of economic development.
