区域政策与西班牙
作为区域政策工具的基础设施和教育：来自西班牙的证据
各国政府经常试图通过对培训和基础设施的投资等供应面措施来影响经济活动的区域分布。利用来自西班牙的证据，我们考察了这些政策是否会产生影响，以及它们过去是否做到了这一点。
我们的结果表明，人力资本和公共资本存量的差距占到了观察到的地区不平等的三分之一，这两个因素大致平均分配。因此，公共投资原则上可以用来缩小地区差距。然而，它的实际影响将取决于其总量和其区域分配在多大程度上确实因区域需要而不同。在西班牙，对基础设施的投资对地区融合的贡献很小，主要是因为它实际上并没有在很大程度上被分配到跨地区重新分配。相比之下，EFRD的转移显然是在考虑到重新分配的情况下在各地区之间分配的。该基金的影响很大，但由于该方案的规模相对较小，其影响有限。

Regional policy and Spain
infrastructure and education as instruments of regional policy: evidence from Spain
Governments have often tried to influence the regional distribution of economic activity through supply-side measures such as investment in training and infrastructure. Using evidence from Spain, we examine whether such policies can have an impact and whether they have done so in the past.
Our results indicate that disparities in the stocks of human and public capital account for a third of observed regional inequality, about evenly split between the two factors. Hence public investment can in principle be used to reduce regional disparity. Its actual impact, however, will depend both on its overall volume and on the extent to which its regional allocation does indeed vary with regional need. In Spain, investment in infrastructure has made only a small contribution to regional convergence, primarily because it has not in practice been allocated to redistribute across regions to any great extent. In contrast, EFRD transfers have clearly been allocated among regions with redistribution in mind. The impact of the Fund has been significant, but it has been limited by the relatively small size of the programme.
