Regional convergence and the impact of European structural funds over 1989–1999: A spatial econometric analysis
Open accessAbstract
Abstract. This paper evaluates the impact of structural funds on the convergence process between 145 European regions over 1989–1999. The presence of spillover effects is investigated with spatial econometric methods, which assess the impact of the funds on the targeted region and its neighbours. We also control the potential endogeneity problem in the estimation of their impact. Our estimation results indicate that significant convergence takes place, but that the funds have no impact on it. Simulation experiments show how investments targeted to the peripheral regions never spill over to their neighbours, which calls for a reconsideration of current regional policy tools. Resumen. Este artículo evalúa el impacto de los fondos estructurales en el proceso de convergencia entre 145 regiones europeas durante el periodo 1989–1999. La presencia de efectos derrame (spill over) se investigó mediante métodos econométricos espaciales, que evalúan el impacto de los fondos en la región objetivo y sus vecinas. También controlamos el problema de endogeneidad potencial en la estimación del impacto. Los resultados de nuestra estimación indican la presencia significativa de una convergencia, pero que los fondos no tienen un impacto sobre la misma. Experimentos de simulación muestran que las inversiones dirigidas a las regiones periféricas nunca derraman (spill over) sobre sus vecinas, lo cual pide reconsiderar las herramientas actuales de política regional.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
