| Abstract: | The European Union (EU) provides allowances to disadvantaged regions of member states to let them catch up with the EU average. Under the Objective 1 scheme, NUTS2 regions, having a per capita GDP level below 75% of the EU average qualify for structural fund transfers from the central EU budget. This rule causes a regression-discontinuity design, exploiting the discrete jump in the probability of EU transfer receipt at the 75% threshold for identification of causal influences of Objective 1 treatment on outcome, such as EU regions' economic growth. Positive per capita GDP growth effects of Objective 1 transfers are found, however no employment growth effects were found. |
