This chapter examines the effects of EU spending on regional well-being. In doing so, the chapter tests the observable implications of the theory put forward in Chapter 3 about the conditions under which EU spending can enhance well-being. It makes the case for using a quantitative approach, which is uniquely suitable for estimating EU spending effects because it takes into account potential endogenous effects, temporal factors and structural breaks. proceeds with an explanatory analysis of. Drawing on the quantitative dataset introduced in Chapter 4, this chapter presents and discusses two main results. The first result is that EU social spending enhances employment and unemployment outcomes, but only in the rich regions. By contrast, there is no robust evidence of social spending effects on youth activity or public health. The second main finding is that EU social investments exacerbate income inequality in poor regions.

This chapter describes the data collection strategy and operationalization of regional well-being put in place for this research. The novel dataset used in this book collates annual observations at the regional level for the period 1994–2013, the end of the most recent EU multi-annual funding period for which payment data are available. Well-being indicators capture patterns of employment, unemployment, youth inactivity, health, poverty, and income inequality for 189 regions in 16 EU member states. The descriptive mapping of regional well-being since the early 1990s yields two main findings. First, richer regions tend to perform better on all well-being indicators but are nonetheless plagued by consistently higher levels of poverty. Second, levels of poverty and income inequality have not significantly declined since the 1990s in either rich or poor regions. This poverty and inequality standstill calls into question the usefulness of the concept of regional development as ‘economic and employment growth’, which is central to EU regional spending.
