| Description | The paper evaluates interregional differences among Czech regions in the period 2000–2008 by three statistical measures of variability applied to selected indicators. Specifically, the analysis uses regular statistical measures of regional differentiation as the coefficient of variation, Gini coefficient of concentration as well as Theil index. Regional disparities were studied for selected socioeconomic indicators such as GDP per capita, registered unemployment rate, average monthly gross wage and entrepreneurial activity. The results of this paper show that interregional differences at the level of NUTS3 regions are very small in the selected years and exhibit no significant change over the period 2000–2008. |
