Sažetak
The aim of this research is to investigate the theoretical foundations
of convergence and to determine the dynamics of changes in the
economic performance of European Union countries depending
on their membership to the euro area. The purpose is to obtain
findings on achieving real convergence and on changes in economic
performance in times of crisis. The findings may be relevant for Croatia,
which will become a member of the eurozone on 1 January 2023.
Economic performance of national economies is expressed in gross
domestic product per capita. To determine convergence, the following
measurement concepts were used: sigma, beta, gamma, and delta in the
period from 2010 to 2019. The identification of changes in economic
performance in crisis conditions was carried out based on data for 2009
and 2020. The results of this research are contained in the identified
differences between the defined groups of countries in achieving real
convergence within the observed ten-year period and in the achieved
economic performance in crisis conditions.
