Objective
The proposed research aims at: i) developing quantitative techniques that enable a non-biased ex-post evaluation of the impact of EU RD programmes, i.e. disentangling the programme effect from other exogenous factors; calculating programmes substitution, replacement, deadweight loss and other indirect effects; ii) deriving an aggregated indicator of regional development, the Rural Development Index (RDI), to be used for ex-ante and ex-post evaluations of RD programmes in rural areas; iii) developing quantitative techniques that enable a more precise ex-ante evaluations of RD programmes by taking into consideration the impact of tangible and intangible factors; iv) comparing evaluation results of quantitative advanced methods with those of qualitative methodologies; v) providing policy recommendations for an improved evaluation of RD programs in the EU. Applied methodology includes: (1) Development and estimation of the RDI allowing assessment of an overall impact of RD programmes. (2) Derivation of ex-post evaluation tools that combine innovative econometric methods, i.e. propensity score matching, double difference methodology and RDIs. (3) Quantitative network analyses to identify characteristic network structure enhancing or impeding the effectiveness of RD-programmes. (4) Derivation of innovative tools for ex ante evaluation of RD programmes by using an agent-based model that incorporates the embeddedness of political and economic action in social networks to economic analysis. (5) Comparison, assessment and statistical validation of innovative methodological tools. Derived set of innovative tools will be calibrated and applied by using available data and indicators in selected NUTS 3-5 regions in Slovakia and Poland. A successful completion of the proposed research will improve learning about the economic and social consequences of RD programs and reinforce the quality of monitoring and evaluation systems and strengthen the policy design process.
