The single market and geographic concentration in the regions of the European Union

Abstract

This note examines industrial concentration in the regions of the European Union during the period following the implementation of the Single Market. To achieve this objective, we have applied a new methodology in this literature based on the second degree inverse stochastic dominance concept. The results obtained reveal an increase in geographical concentration in most industrial activities between 1992 and 1999.
