Regional absorption capacity of EU funds
Absorption of the financial resources allocated from the EU funds is a very important aspect of the European integration process, while there is a lack of empirical researches on the determinants of a country/region’s abilities to efficiently absorb the money. This study investigates the influence of the chosen territorial economic preconditions important for successful absorption of EU funds over the last two Cohesion Policy programming periods, on the sample of convergence and developed NUTS 2 regions of the EU. The analysis is based on 86 regions that have GDP per capita less than 75% of the EU average (convergence regions) and 186 regions that have GDP per capita above 75% of the EU average (developed regions). By using panel data analysis, it is confirmed that the absorption of EU funds is conditionally affected by regional economic characteristics. The results of the study contribute to empirical researches on the determinants of regional absorption capacity in the EU and can be important in discussions surrounding Cohesion Policy planning and programming.
