Regional participation to Research and Innovation programmes under Next Generation EU: The Portuguese case
研究了葡萄牙在下一代欧盟计划资助的“工业化议程”项目中区域参与的分布，发现其模式更接近地平线2020而非凝聚政策，且存在城乡差距。
The paper aims to investigate regional participation in a new Portuguese Research and Innovation (R&I) programme (so-called ‘Agendas for Industrialization’) funded by the European Next Generation EU (NGEU). Using a probit model with sample selection and a novel dataset, we find that the distribution of territorial participation to the NGEU-related programme is more similar to that observed for the European Commission’s R&I Horizon 2020 programme than for the R&I funds under the Cohesion Policy (2014–2020). The results also show a rural-urban divide in regional participation, which is eventually due to a lack of demand for this type of funding in less developed regions.
