“…The second group of studies examines the impacts of EU regional funding on individual countries: In their analysis for 17 Spanish regions in the years 1989 to 2010, Faiña et al [22] found that the EU funding for transport infrastructure at least contributed to the decline in economic growth during this same period. A further analysis for Spanish regions [23] also examined a positive effect of EU funding on their economic development.…”

Regional Densities of Cooperation: Are There Measurable Effects on Regional Development?

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Almost three decades ago, a paradigm change in funding policies for rural regions became effective in Europe and Germany, involving a move towards cooperative, actor-oriented regional development. However, little research has been published on the extent to which funding approaches intended to activate cooperation have led to regional-economic effects in the regions. This paper presents a countrywide statistical evaluation of the link between the deployment of funding programmes and established regional development indicators. The investigation is based on the analysis of 27 funding programmes, pilot projects and competitions from five policy fields, covering the period from 1991 to 2016. Its analyses are founded on the largest database of regional-development programmes implemented in Germany and the first attempt to detect cumulative effects of a large number of programmes over a long period. Further research in this direction should first gather detailed information on the scope of funding programmes in the regions.

“…The Spanish experience shows that the future EU cohesion policy should focus on coordination failures that undermine the transformation towards a high-skill-high productivity growth equilibrium (Faiña, Lopez-Rodriguez, and Montes-Solla 2020), which can be achieved through better cooperation in regional innovation systems between different actors of the sextuple helix (firms, science, bridging institutions, administration, societies, and environment). The problems related to evaluation stem from the complexity of policies, as well as the lack of consideration of cause-andeffect loops rather than linear cause-and-effect relationships.…”

Model of a Regional Value-Creation System under the Impact of Structural Funds for Evaluation Purposes

Institutions managing European Funds are obliged by the European Commission to evaluate them. In the article, a micro-macroeconomic model of the regional value-creation system with the impact of structural funds is proposed. Besides the traditional variables of supply and demand in the economy, the model also embraces variables reflecting natural environment protection as well as research and development and innovation. The model may be used as a theoretical framework for evaluation with the usage of quantitative and qualitative methods. The model is based on a systems approach that emphasizes interdependencies and causal loops rather than unidirectional causal relationships. An application of the model for the evaluation of the impact of European Funds on Polish counties is presented, showing the positive impact of the funds of the 2014-2020 programming period on an income proxy and knowledge-based entrepreneurship.
