“…It ranges between 0 (equality) and 1 (maximum disparities). According to this indicator, regional disparities are especially high in Mexico while they are lowest in the Netherlands 2 Our approach here is in line with work which has considered how institutional quality affects how the European Union structural funds impact on GDP growth or FDI flows across member states (Beugelsdijk and Eijffinger 2005;Ederveen et al 2006;Katsaitis and Doulos 2009). 3 See Table A1 for the list of countries included, Table A2 for the sources of all the data employed and Table A3 for the summary statistics in the Appendix. 4 All European regions are defined at the NUTS 2 level, except for Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK which are so at the NUTS 1 level.…”

In this paper we consider how government quality mediates the relationship between fiscal decentralization and regional disparities. Previous work has argued that fiscal decentralization has the potential to reduce income differences across regions but that this potential may not be realized because of governance problems associated with sub‐national authorities. Our empirical evidence based on a sample of 24 OECD countries over the period 1984 to 2006 lends a measure of support to this idea. We find that fiscal decentralization promotes regional convergence in high government quality settings but, worryingly, it leads to wider regional disparities in countries with poor governance.

“…ES Struktūrinių fondų parama vertinama nevienareikšmiškai. O. Katsaičio ir D. Doulos (2009) teigimu, ES lėšų naudojimas gali prisidėti prie verslo plėtros sąlygų, tačiau struktūrinių fondų pagalbą gauna tik tie sektoriai, kuriems suteikta ES paramos pirmenybė. Tiems, kurie negauna tokio finansavimo, tampa daug sunkiau vystytis, nes iškreipiama konkurencija (Jasinskas, 2008).…”

“…Vis tik P. Mohl ir T. Hagen (2010) teigia, kad ES struktūriniai fondai dažnai finansuoja projektus, kurie nėra ekonomiškai efektyvūs, nes jie paveikti politinių motyvų. Be to, šalyse, turinčiose aukštą korupcijos lygį ir prastos kokybės viešąsias institucijas, struktūriniai fondai gali tik sulėtinti šalies augimą ir užsienio investicijų pritraukimą (Katsaitis, 2009;Dimulescu, 2013).…”

Recently the Rural tourism business is quite rapidly developing, first of all due to increasing demand for such services, as well as because of businessmen striving to take advantage of governmental support for rural tourism homesteads. Still the uptake of support may lead to inappropriate development of rural tourism homesteads. The purpose of this article is to assess the impact of governmental support on the development of rural tourism homesteads. The methodology applied in the article: the correlation analysis in order to assess the methods of the impact of support on the rates of rural tourism homesteads and the calculation method of the support concentration, which may be applied when assessing the appropriate distribution of the support among the regions..The results of the research have revealed that the support impact on the development of rural tourism homesteads is adequate, however the support is improvable more relating it in future with the abilities of rural tourism homesteads to attract more customers choosing a longer stay in the rural tourism homestead.

“…Investigation of the impact of EU Structural Funds on the economic growth and convergence process is a widely researched topic. Katsaitis and Doulos (2009) note that since the purpose of Structural Funds is to stimulate growth, there is an interest to investigate empirically how effective these funds have been in achieving their objective. Bodenstein and Kemmerling (2012: 3) emphasise that it is still disputable whether Structural Funds have really led to a higher regional convergence, or a mechanism of redistribution.…”

Targeted allocation of EU support in Lithuania can help resolving a number of problems and achieving significant results in a variety of areas. However, rush to absorb support may lead to a little, zero or even negative impact on national economy. In addition, EU support opportunities may distort investment motivation. This paper deals with issues related to the impact of EU support and problems of its absorption. The impact of EU support on the national economy has been established in three areas: attraction of foreign direct investment state investments into capital formation, and experience of companies, which are EU support beneficiaries. The paper proposes using regression analysis in search and evaluation of relations while obtaining more information about programmes, priorities and the impact of structural support on different indicators. In addition, it focuses on ascertaining the effectiveness of governmental and company spending. Furthermore, as companies – EU support beneficiaries – are engaged in different economic activities, their experience cannot be ascertained from statistical data; consequently, findings of an expert survey are presented to demonstrate the experience acquired by business companies as well as problems they face. Limitation of research was a short period of time to evaluate (only four years of the current funding period)
