| Abstract |
A survey of the literature shows that research in the effects of regional policy in many cases uses overly simple approaches and highly limiting assumptions. Only a small number of studies measure the effects of policy explicitly and in a scientifically adequate manner. This also goes for the effects of EU cohesion policy: the evidence is thin. Frequently, 50-75% of subsidized jobs and investment turn out to be non-additional. Evaluations in the literature offer only scant empirical evidence for underpinning policy choices.
