摘要：The economic convergence consists in the very close, even identical evolutions of one variable in two
different countries or regions. Within the European model, the macroeconomic and cohesion policies
insure a good substantiation of the sustained economic growth. The achievement of the Single Market had
positive effects upon the European economy as a whole, but these benefits have not been equally
distributed among states, regions and social groups. The market is the most efficient mechanism of
resource allocation within the economy, but it is not the tool insuring the distribution of the registered
benefits. For this reason, the mechanisms of the cohesion policy can improve the tendencies of the
economic activities concentration, once the economic integration process has intensified.
In this paper, the authors propose to explain the defining elements of the European model, emphasizing the
connection between the convergence process and real economic growth process. In this sense, we will
present the European model of reginonal growth, which contributes to the achievement of a real economic
convergence process.
