EU Structural Funds and Regional Income Convergence A Sobering Experience

Abstract

Die europaischen Struktur und Investmentfonds (ESIF) sind das wichtigste Instrument der EU-Regionalpolitik; die europaische Politik setzt grose Hoffnungen in die wachstumsstimulierende Wirkung dieser Fordermasnahmen zur Uberwindung der aktuellen wirtschaftlichen Stagnation. Basierend auf einer empirischen Identifikationsstrategie konnen in diesem Papier keine Belege fur positive Forderwirkungen gefunden werden. Werden raumliche Strukturen berucksichtigt, zeigt sich, dass raumlich indirekte Effekte dieses Ergebnis beeinflussen - also solche Regionen weniger wachsen, deren Nachbarn stark gefordert werden. Neben der potenziellen Erklarung, dass Nachbarn gegenseitig ihre Investoren abwerben, legt dieses Resultat nahe, dass hochgeforderte regionale Cluster unter struktureller und technologischer Ruckstandigkeit leiden, die durch Wachstumsprogramme nicht uberwunden werden. Beide moglichen Erklarungen lassen den Schluss zu, dass die Forderung ihr eigentliches Ziel, die Konvergenz der Regionen, verfehlt.
