Chapter 11 in Regional Convergence in the European Union, 2002, pp 231-272 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter considers whether there is a case for attempting to reconcile two recent research literatures in the European Union (EU). The first is the quickly expanding one on regional growth processes within the EU. The research here encompasses both theoretical analysis, involving several distinct growth theories, and empirical work largely based on REGIO data sets. The second literature is that which focuses on the evaluation of EU regional policy. It is a particularly appropriate time to consider the evaluation evidence given the recently completed round of official ex post evaluations of the 1994–1999 Structural Funds programmes.
