The program provides Member States with access to grants and concessional loans aimed at supporting their recovery and resilience plans, which must incorporate coherent packages of reforms and investments. We evaluate the regional economic impact of the NGEU program in Spain, as one of the European countries most affected by the pandemic and, therefore, one of the program’s main beneficiaries. To do so, we employ counterfactual techniques, which are particularly useful when considering alternative scenarios, such as the existence or absence of NGEU funds. According to our results, the economic impact led to an increase in GDP per capita in 2022, a perspective that is projected in 2023, 2024, and 2025 compared to a scenario without NGEU funds. This result is robust to various robustness checks. This analysis sheds light on the economic transformations attributable to the implementation of these exceptional measures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51458,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Regional Science","volume":"104 2","pages":"Article 100082"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143387057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We relate individuals level of schooling obtained from three rounds of the Nigeria’s Living Standard Measurement Survey (LSMS) to spatial distance to university measured by pairing residential and university campuses geographical coordinates. To identify the long-run effect of the distance to university, we exploit the theory of residential sorting to instrument residential proximity to university. Specifically, we instrument distance to university drawing on variations in households’ proximity to state boundary posts and neighbourhood population density. The instrumental variable estimates show a negative and significant effect of distance revealing that geographical constraints during teenage years represent a barrier to the subsequent human capital acquisition. Additional short-run results from a difference-in-differences estimation indicate that a large scale establishment of universities that suddenly reduced distance to university for some households had beneficial trickle-down effects by increasing enrollment and decreasing the intention to drop out of school, supporting evidence of the role of distance costs in the accumulation of human capital in Nigeria.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51458,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Regional Science","volume":"104 2","pages":"Article 100081"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143445727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the cohesion treatment may have ex-post reduced, in some cases, national spending and the decision to eliminate the principle should have been taken under a case-by-case scrutiny. The application of the additional principle has been suggested for more recent anti-crisis fiscal policy programmes and some authors have claimed a reintroduction of it for cohesion policy. This paper deals with an ex-post sector-by-sector evaluation of the additionality principle in the European cohesion policy with respect to domestic fiscal policy during the two most recently concluded programming periods (2007–13 and 2014–20). The application is carried out for the Italian regions. In particular, we look at how the relationships between cohesion policy and domestic non-cohesion fiscal policy may differ for specific sectors (education, culture, transportation and environment) employing a regional panel framework and addressing the issues of endogeneity and reverse causality explicitly. We construct a unique database which combines two sources of information available for the Italian case. The first includes information on cohesion projects while the other refers to the regionalized public expenditure obtained by consolidating all different sources of spending. We found strong sectoral heterogeneity in the compliance with the additionality principle. Cohesion policy in education and environment appears to display a substitution effect. On the contrary, cohesion policy seems more additional to domestic expenditures in transportation infrastructures. The analysis found some differences in the compliance with the additionality principle also among Italian regions. Sectoral and regional heterogeneity should be taken into account in practical policymaking.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51458,"journal":{"name":"Papers in Regional Science","volume":"104 2","pages":"Article 100078"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143177464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
