Will the New EU Regional Policy Meet the Challenges of Enlargement
TLDR
The European Union has established an important tool to solve its cohesion problem, given by the substantial disparities in economic development between its members, with EU regional policy as mentioned in this paper, which concentrated its support on the lagging regions of the Union, the cohesion countries, Spain, Ireland, Portugal, and other objective 1 regions such as Southern Italy and East Germany.Abstract:
The European Union has established an important tool to solve its cohesion problem, given by the substantial disparities in economic development between its members, with EU regional policy. This policy concentrated its support on the lagging regions of the Union, the cohesion countries, Spain, Ireland, Portugal and Greece, and other objective 1 regions such as Southern Italy and East Germany. But EU policy support is also an important tool to solve regional problems in the richer EU members under the objective 2 policy.read more

The mechanics of economic development
Abstract: This paper considers the prospects for constructing a neoclassical theory of growth and international trade that is consistent with some of the main features of economic development. Three models are considered and compared to evidence: a model emphasizing physical capital accumulation and technological change, a model emphasizing human capital accumulation through schooling, and a model emphasizing specialized human capital accumulation through learning-by-doing.

Is public expenditure productive
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between aggregate productivity and stock and flow government-spending variables is investigated and the empirical results indicate that the non-military public capital stock is dramatically more important in determining productivity than is either the flow of nonmilitary or military spending, and that military capital bears little relation to productivity.
