The evolution of regional income disparities between two blocks of regions, objective 1 regions and non-objective 1 regions is analysed for the period 1982 to 1997, by using a Generalized entropy index such as the Theil index. The results show that between 1982 and 1987 the income disparities between objective 1 regions and non-objective 1 regions have increased, while from 1987 onwards objective 1 regions catch up with the non-objective 1 regions.
