Abstract: We assess the impact of regional policies on the economies of the 20 Italian regions for the period 1994–2016. We adopt a control function approach incorporating the funds’ allocation rules and ascertain the impact of various policy funds in four sectors (agriculture, industry, construction and services) through a multi-input multi-output transformation function. We find that European Structural and Investment Funds have a significant impact on various sectoral components of regional gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, with the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) playing the strongest role. Nationally funded regional policies do not have an aggregate impact but affect the sectoral composition of GDP.
