Abstract

Information regarding remittances flows across European space is scarce, and available only at the national level. Such a scarcity limits the capacity to undertake the required analyses and to derive the corresponding conclusions on the interrelations among European regions. The paper uncovers regional typologies in Europe in terms of interregional (NUTS 2 level) remittances flows in year 2018, the year prior to the eruption of the COVID19 pandemic. To this end, the paper compiles and utilizes O-D matrices for interregional remittances flows in Europe, compiles and utilizes tailor-made clustering indicators and employs the k-means clustering technique.

Keywords: Europe, interregional remittances flows, k-means clustering, O-D matrices, regional typologies
