Abstract
The Sardinian regional operational program 2007–2013 concerning the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) (2007–2013 ROP-ERDF) respects the rules of the ERDF on the investments for territorial cohesion since it promotes their regional geographic concentration. These investments are evenly shared between large- and medium-sized urban areas, and disadvantaged zones. This paper analyzes the investment policies implemented by the Sardinian Region through the 2000–2006 ERDF based part of the Regional Operational Program (2000–2006 ROP-ERDF), in order to assess their effectiveness, in terms of expense efficiency, for urban areas and disadvantaged zones. The assessment of the expenditure efficiency of the 2000–2006 ROP-ERDF is very important to address the policies of the 2007–2013 ROP-ERDF in terms of geographic concentration. The essay analyzes the results of the 2000–2006 ROP-ERDF, with reference to the expenditure efficiency of Sardinian cities, represented through a geographic information system, by means of a multinomial logit model. The essay proposes an analytical and interpretive approach which could be easily exported to other public planning processes, in order to define policies for territorial cohesion.
