P52 - Comparative Studies of Particular EconomiesReturn

The topic of European Union budget is very important for each member state, especially nowadays because of recessive economic crisis and on-going crisis of euro zone. This article analyses not only development of net position for selected countries of EU, but also compares the net position development with the GDP development. The level of GDP should be one of the most important indicators for calculation of contributions for each member state, but because of many exceptions and very complicated mechanism its influence could be low. The aim of this paper is to verify the hypothesis that there is some correlation between the development of net position per capita and the development of GDP per capita for selected net recipients of EU. For verification of this hypothesis is used especially selective correlation coefficient.
