COMPARATIVE REGIONAL POLICY IMPACT ANALYSIS: EX POST EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE EUROPEAN REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT FUND*
提出一种结合探索性频率方法和理性预期模型的两步法，用于事后评估欧洲区域发展基金（ERDF）在跨区域比较中的绩效，并以荷兰地区为例展示其适用性。
ABSTRACT. This paper addresses the issue of ex post impact analysis of regional policies in the European Community. The analysis is both methodological and applied in nature. After a concise overview of existing impact assessment methods, a two‐step approach by means of an exploratory frequency method and an explanatory rational expectations‐based model is proposed in order to provide an empirical framework for cross‐regional comparative evaluation of the performance of the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The seope and applicability of the method is illustrated by means of a case study for Dutch regions.
