Apresentação
This study hypothesises that Europe (EU15) contains at least four models of capitalism which rely on some different institutional arrangements. Our aim is to show that some relationship exists between the different capitalisms and the different geographical patterns of development at the regional level. After testing the statistical relevance of our territorial areas, we have calculated several concentration and dispersion indexes for the available regional economic data. We conclude that in Europe different institutional macro-configurations do display dissimilar regional growth models based on rather diverse core-periphery models.
