The allocation of financial resources of the EU Structural Funds and Cohesion Fund during the period 2007-2013

W. Heijman, T. Koch

The article describes a model to predict the allocation of the EU Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund over the EU member states. By comparing the predicted allocation with the real allocation, it is possible to indicate which member states receive more and which countries receive less than the predicted share. The variables determining the predicted allocation are the GDP per capita and the size of the population.

Keywords: Regional policy, Structural Funds, Cohesion Fund, budget allocation
