A chapter in New Cohesion Policy of the European Union in Poland, 2014, pp 29-44 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Poland is the major beneficiary of the European Cohesion Policy and can be treated as a ‘laboratory’ for evaluation of effectiveness of structured public interventions aimed at regional development. Conclusions from Polish lessons in this area can be useful not only for the Cohesion Policy implementation but also for other investment public policies implemented in the European Union. Our chapter Effects of Cohesion Policy in regions in Poland is an attempt to present the net effects of Cohesion Policy in Polish regions both at the macro and the micro level and to formulate some conclusions and recommendations for public policies aimed at regional development. The first part of the publication is the macro level analysis focused on the impact on the main socio-economic indicators at the regional level. In the second part we are trying to signalize the most important and interesting issues concerning the effectiveness of Cohesion Policy. The assessment of the policy impact on specific areas of the intervention (micro-level effects) is made by presentation of the selected and the most representative and informative cases. Empirical background for our analysis are results of the Cohesion Policy evaluation process. Polish evaluation system of Cohesion Policy is considered as one of the most effective in the European Union and as such in our opinion can be treated as an useful source of information for the analysis of the rationale and effectiveness of the public interventions.
