It will be shown that in Germany GDP growth is neutral regarding inter-regional differences in GDP per capita. However, economic crisis does worsen inter-regional differences in GDP per capita. In other words, some regions are more vulnerable to economic crisis than others. Data cover all regions of Germany as classified by OECD for the period 1995-2011. The elaboration of data and the panel data analysis is made feasible through the Eviews software.
