Abstract
In this Chapter we will present a simple explanatory model for assessing the regional impact of the ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) expenditures. This model was developed as an extension of the frequency analysis as an impact assessment tool for ERDF Commitments, described in the previous chapter. The frequency table analysis is mainly meant to be an exploratory tool. The explanatory model however, to be developed in the present chapter serves to test the existence of a causal quantitative relationship between the economic development of a region and various explanatory background variables for this development. The ERDF Commitments in this model are only one of such explanatory variables. In a way analogous to the frequency table analysis, this model is tested for two empirical studies, viz., Italy and The Netherlands.
