This article analysis diversity of growth path for the UE-27 countries, the other Eastern European countries which developed a partnership with UE like Ukraine or Russia, and for the Mediterranean countries (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Turkey) which signed the 1995 Barcelona agreements. The first part of this article categorizes dynamic growth path for each periphery of the UE. These peripheries are identified by principal component analyses and fixed effects models.
