| Abstract | The paper provides empirical evidence that structures of interregional economic interactions formed on the principle of functional hierarchies can reproduce one level of system-wide effects over a long period of time. To search for such evidence, the multiregional social accounting matrices of the European Union for 2000–2017 are analyzed. Based on them, for spatial markets of different hierarchical levels, the dynamics of the system-wide effects and the degree of complexity of interregional economic interactions are assessed. The system-wide effects are measured by the average levels of spatial multipliers, and the complexity of interactions – by the average propagation lengths. The results of calculations show that structural transformations of interregional economic interactions can occur without any visible change in system-wide effects (average value of spatial multipliers during the period under review (2,5 euro / euro), as well as the distribution of regions according to levels of functional hierarchy in the European Union remained almost unchanged, while the complexity of spatial interactions decreased by 15,4% over an eighteen-year period). It is concluded that in multiregional systems (at least those organized according to the principle of functional hierarchies) there are feedback mechanisms that neutralize the results of individual changes and allow to talk about system-wide effects measured using the average values of spatial multipliers as spatial quasi-constants. |
