The latest study by one of our researchers puts this vision to the test by analysing regions located at the intersection of Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany. Dr \u0141ukasz Wr\u00f3blewski examined the extent to which the economies of these regions are interconnected by investigating the synchronization of business cycle fluctuations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key findings of the study:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The actual intensity of cross-border economic linkages is relatively low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Despite the absence of physical borders and their participation in the single market, regional economies continue to exhibit a high degree of autonomy. Their economic \u201cpulse\u201d is more closely aligned with national than cross-border dynamics.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The study identified specific structural features\u2014referred to as the morphological characteristics of regions\u2014that determine the extent to which they are susceptible to the influence of neighbouring regions across the border.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>These findings have important implications for regional policy planning in the European Union.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removing legal and physical barriers alone is not sufficient to create an integrated regional market. Policymakers need to examine the structural causes of limited integration more closely. Understanding how economic fluctuations spread\u2014or fail to spread\u2014allows governments to prepare more effectively for local financial crises and assess whether problems affecting one region are likely to spill over across the border.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The findings are presented in the article \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/09654313.2026.2652052\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cross-border interactions on the Benelux-Germany border in the light of synchronization economic fluctuations<\/a>,\u201d published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/journals\/ceps20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Planning Studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-modal\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-modal\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large has-custom-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/09654313.2026.2652052\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cross-border-LW-2-1024x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"has-border-color has-nv-light-bg-border-color wp-image-1685\" style=\"border-width:5px;border-top-left-radius:5px;border-top-right-radius:5px;border-bottom-left-radius:5px;border-bottom-right-radius:5px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cross-border-LW-2-1024x525.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cross-border-LW-2-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cross-border-LW-2-768x394.jpg 768w, https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/cross-border-LW-2.jpg 1376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:73px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The findings are presented in the article \u201cCross-border interactions on the Benelux-Germany border in the light of synchronization economic fluctuations,\u201d published in European Planning Studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1684","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1684"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1692,"href":"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1684\/revisions\/1692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/transformeu.ue.poznan.pl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
