Regional policies and sectoral outputs in Italy
研究了1994-2016年区域政策对意大利20个大区四个部门（农业、工业、建筑业、服务业）产出的影响，发现欧洲结构基金对人均GDP有显著作用，其中国家基金影响部门结构但不影响总量。
We assess the impact of regional policies on the economies of the 20 Italian regions for the period 1994–2016. We adopt a control function approach incorporating the funds’ allocation rules and ascertain the impact of various policy funds in four sectors (agriculture, industry, construction and services) through a multi-input multi-output transformation function. We find that European Structural and Investment Funds have a significant impact on various sectoral components of regional gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, with the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) playing the strongest role. Nationally funded regional policies do not have an aggregate impact but affect the sectoral composition of GDP.
