The Cohesion spirit and EU policies: A scenario analysis
The Committee of the Regions (CoR) recently deliberated on the costs of enhancing cohesion across the European Union (EU) through the various EU policies. This Insight presents JRC scientific evidence on the impact and feasibility of enhancing cohesion based on two quantitative scenarios focusing on investments in firms and training. The results show that substantial amounts of funding in less developed regions would be needed in order to meet ambitious cohesion targets. This may be mitigated through initial investments to improve institutional quality and developing a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation. Subsequently lower levels of investment may indeed propagate cohesion to get closer to the desired targets.
