Abstract

The paper reviews the literature on the evaluation of the macroeconomic of the EU Structural Funds and it focuses on the macroeconomic models used by the European Commission for the assessment of the Objective 1 Community and Structural Frameworks. It emerges that more detailed Structural Funds expenditure data as well as macroeconometric models taking into account spatial interaction effects and industry dimension are needed to better evaluate the impact of EU Funds at regional level.
