Real convergence represents an essential objective for Romania's integration into the EU. the filling of the gap between Romania and the EU at a quick pace is not possible only through market forces, that might cause divergence and polarisations. For this purpose special tools, like cohesion are required. The paper deals with suitable models based on the regression method and the following aspects: assessments of the Romania's economic growth and estimation of the convergence time period; sigma and beta convergence estimation; marginal productivity of capital determination and the real convergence problem.
