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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45280246464663,"sku":"9783319095189","price":3633.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319095189.webp?v=1769295771","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/regional-perspectives-on-policy-evaluation-9783319095189","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
