Book excerpt: The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.tandfebooks.com/doi/view/10.4324/9781315401867, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 3.0 license. This book brings together academics, members of European institutions, and regional and national level policymakers in order to assess the performance and direction of EU Cohesion policy against the background of the most significant reforms to the policy in a generation. Responding to past criticisms of the effectiveness of the policy, the policy changes introduced in 2013 have aligned European Structural and Investment Funds with the Europe 2020 strategy and introduced measures to improve strategic coherence, performance and integrated development. EU Cohesion Policy: Reassessing performance and direction argues that policy can only be successfully developed and implemented if there is input from both academics and practitioners. The chapters in the book address four important issues: the effectiveness and impact of Cohesion policy at European, national and regional levels; the contribution of Cohesion policy to the Europe 2020 strategy of smart, sustainable and inclusive growth; the importance of quality of government and administrative capacity for the effective management of the Funds; and the inter-relationships between institutions, territory and place-based policies. The volume will be an invaluable resource to students, academics and policymakers across economics, regional studies, European studies and international relations.

Download or read book Fertile Soil for Structural Funds? A Panel Data Analysis of the Conditional Effectiveness of European Cohesion Policy written by Sjef Ederveen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structural funds are the most intensively used policy instrument by the European Union to promote economic growth in its member states and to speed up the process of convergence. This paper empirically explores the effectiveness of European Structural Funds by means of a panel data analysis for 13 countries in the European Union. We show that - on average - Structural Funds are ineffective. For countries with the 'right' institutions, however, Structural Funds are effective. The latter result is obtained for a wide range of conditioning variables, such as openness, institutional quality, corruption and indicators for good governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we approach the Commission's role as co-manager of policy implementation? Why should we expect the Commission to be pulled into domestic policy execution and to accumulate something like an implementation management capacity? How should we conceptualise the Commission's linkage with post-decision management issues? Finally, how does the Commission's involvement in the application of EU policies, if any, significantly change everything? Such questions are answered in this study, which is concerned with what may be called the implementation management capacity of the European Commission. Simply put, this is the role the Commission plays in the implementation of large-scale European spending programmes. While it is true that the Commission's predominant prerogatives are to draft legislation and facilitate bargaining, it also has a role in post-decision policy management. This role is of increasing importance for the emerging governance of the European Union. Readership: social scientists, journalists and all those interested in the role of the European Commission in shaping EU policies.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to enrich current evaluation of the Structural Funds in the field of regional development by connecting it with the advances in contemporary international practices of evaluation. We strongly believe that evaluation studies are one of the key feedback mechanisms in modern public policy. They help us reflect critically on the value and merit of our programmes, learn and improve the utility of new public interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of structural policy is to decrease the regional disparities within the European Union (EU). In 2004 ten new member countries joined the EU, and it is expected that this enlargement will cause strong regional disparities within the Union. For this reason the distribution of financial support by structural policy will undergo drastic changes. In this study we consider two main themes. First, convergence of the current EU Member States is empirically tested for the period 1995-2001, and the effect of the structural funds in this context is identified. Structural funds do indeed appear to have had a positive impact, and poorer countries (like Greece) appear to have caught up with the richer countries. The importance of the structural funds in this respect therefore cannot be neglected. Second, we touch on the problem of moral hazard and the substitution effect. It may be expected that receivers of structural funds in some cases are not really eligible and may therefore use the funds inefficiently. Our first and preliminary results seem to indicate that the less clean countries (or as we measure it, more 'corrupt' countries) of the current EU-15 do not gain less economic growth from the structural funds. The hypothesis that structural funds contributed to fewer interregional disparities within the current 15 European countries cannot be rejected. This may mean the intended plans of channelling a big share of the funds to the candidate countries in 2007-13 will probably contribute to higher economic growth in these countries.

Download or read book Cohesion and Growth written by Willem Molle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To combat economic disparity and low growth, the European Union has established an integrated policy system that pursues increased cohesion and smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth. This integrated approach is realized through thousands of development projects and takes up more than a third of the total budget of the European Union. Despite its significance, the policy is subject to many misunderstandings and there is a lot of controversy surrounding its effectiveness. Cohesion and Growth seeks to bring clarity to these issues. It presents both the theoretical and practical aspects of EU intervention, a critical contribution to the understanding of the anatomy of the problems and the way to apply effective solutions to them, and a systematic view of the issues at each of the subsequent stages of the whole policy cycle. Offering an authoritative analysis of the problems and debates involved, this book is essential reading for students, policy makers, project promoters and researchers concerned with this key area of European policy making.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The European Social Fund is a key financial instrument for helping the member states in the field of employment. Over the period 2007-3 the spending will amount to over 75 billion euro or 8% of the European Union budget. For one disadvantaged group, older workers, the court verified whether the member states and the commission had set up and implemented the tools necessary to assess the effectiveness of their actions towards this group. Shortcomings were found in the design of the operational programmes and in the monitoring and evaluation systems. The court makes recommendations with an aim of improving the monitoring and evaluation of the European Social Fund spending on specific target groups."-- Page [4] of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the progress of institutionalisation of evaluation in European countries from various perspectives. It describes both prior developments and current states of evaluation in 16 European countries and across the European Union (EU), focussing on three dimensions, namely the political, social and professional systems. These detailed country reports, which have been written by selected researchers and authors from each of the respective countries, lead to a concluding comparison and synthesis. This is the first of four volumes of the compendium The Institutionalisation of Evaluation to be followed by volumes on the Americas, Africa and Australasia. The overall aim is to provide an interdisciplinary audience with cross-country learning to enable them to better understand the institutionalisation of evaluation in different nations, world regions and different sectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, Berlin School of Economics and Law (Fernstudieninstitut), course: EUROPEAN COHESION POLICIES, language: English, abstract: The first chapter is divided into two sections; the first section aims to present the most important steps toward the current systems of European Cohesion and Funding Policies, and the second section summarizes the main funding streams of the current cohesion policy. In addition, in the second part, the linkage between the different financial instruments and the objectives of Structural Fund assistance is clarified. The second chapter examines the effectiveness and efficiency of the cohesion policy in reducing regional disparities, with a reference to the preceding funding period. Due to the restriction on the length of in this paper, the reduction of regional disparities will be assessed by examining economic performance and employment according to the objectives of the cohesion policy and its financial instruments. Due to the difficulties in separating the contributions of the cohesion policy from the overall effects of progress, the achievements of the Lisbon objectives will be scrutinized in the following section. Selected Structural Indicators will be examined to remark on the progress in the set key areas. The following section aims to conduct a partial examination of the impact and weaknesses of pre-accession assistance. Examining the question of institutional and administrative capacity building, the section will scrutinize the development of economic performance of and employment levels in the new Member States in the 2000–2006 funding period. The objective of the preceeding chapter is to determine the impacts of the Europe 2020 objectives on cohesion policy, examine the adequacy of established goals, and compare the Europe 2020 objectives with those of the Lisbon Strategy. The objective of the last section is to analyze the proposals for a reformed cohesion policy as submitted in the BARCA report. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages that appears when considering the proposals will be discussed. In addition, the main differences with the current practice will be considered.

Download or read book Retrospective Evaluation of the Regional Aid Framework written by and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In January 2019, the European Commission ("Commission") launched the evaluation of its State aid rules that were adopted as part of the State aid Modernisation. The evaluation aims to verify if the rules delivered the desired results to European citizens and businesses at a minimum cost and if they are still fit for purpose. Within this process, the Commission entrusted a consortium of DIW, E.CA Economics and Sheppard Mullin with the retrospective evaluation support study on the EU regional aid framework applicable from 2014 to 2020 ("the RAF 2014"). The RAF 2014 comprises the Guidelines on Regional State Aid ("RAG") and the provisions applicable to regional aid in the General Block Exemption Regulation ("GBER"). The RAF 2014 contains provisions for both investment and operating aid, but the present study focused exclusively on the evaluation of investment aid rules. The objective of this study is to provide the Commission with an independent evidence-based assessment of the implementation of the RAF 2014 and its effects on regional development and competition. In particular, the study evaluates: (1) to what extent regional investment aid has provided a real incentive for companies to locate their investments in disadvantaged areas of the EU ("effectiveness of the RAF 2014"), (2) to what extent the RAF 2014 has allowed the Commission to focus on the potentially most distortive cases ("efficiency of the RAF 2014"), (3) to what extent regional investment aid has been a relevant factor for companies to locate in the EU's disadvantaged regions in a global context ("relevance of the RAF 2014"), (4) to what extent the RAF 2014 has been consistent with the EU structural funds legislation ("coherence of the RAF 2014"), (5) to what extent the RAF 2014 has reduced the risk of subsidy races in the EU ("EU added value of the RAF 2014").

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers comprehensive coverage of various aspects of financial accountability around the EU budget – how it is spent via policies, how institutions engage in checking policy performance (what taxpayers’ money actually delivers), and therein, the issues of monitoring, controlling, auditing, scrutinising and communicating budgetary expenditure. Presenting conceptual and theoretical approaches including financial accountability, learning, multi-level governance, implementation and throughput legitimacy, it looks at EU institutions (European Parliament, European Court of Auditors, European Ombudsman, European Public Prosecutor’s Office) and national bodies (supreme audit institutions at the national level), examining their contact with the EU budget. It details the historical development of accountability mechanisms (the ‘statement of assurance’, financial corrections, and parliamentary oversight by the Budgetary Control Committee (CONT)), and examines policy areas such as those of agriculture, social policy and cohesion (including Structural Funds and the Common Agricultural Policy), exploring the challenges of financial accountability in practice. Given the recent introduction of non-budgetary financial instruments and tools only partly financed by the EU budget, it sheds light on new burgeoning areas such as the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the European Fund for Strategic Investment (EFSI) and the challenges they bring for ensuring the accountability of public money. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of audit and evaluation, budgetary spending and financial control and, more broadly, public administration, public policy and EU institutions and politics.
