The main objective of tins article is to discuss migration problems concerning regional differentiation and regional disparities in the E.C. countries, by adopting theoretical approaches and indicators for measuring the disparities in regional development policies. To test the relevance of the potentiality factors, the analysis studied the causes of regional disparities which are used in the E.C. studies as the most convenient approach. Turkish G.D.P. variations by regions arc examined using the quasiproduction function based on a Cobb‐Douglas specification taking into account as a function of activity, infrastructure, industrial employment and agglomeration rates. The results show that these factors are significant for testing the potential theory for a developing area.
