The evaluation of public policies is of paramount importance for
modern policy making, especially in a period of severe budget
constraints. The literature has proposed several methods to deal
with the issue of causality and counterfactual evaluation in a
variety of contexts, with an increasing attention to the local
dimension. The book aims to present the state-of-the-art of
evaluation techniques with a special focus on the consideration of
geographical and spatial effects into existing methodologies (such
as propensity score matching, regression discontinuity,
difference-in-difference). Furthermore, the volume highlights how
strict the identification conditions for models with spatial
effects are and proposes instrumental variables as a technique able
to circumvent the issue. Finally, some insights into the emerging
literature on ex ante evaluation are offered with respect to EU
Cohesion Policy.
