        <dc:description>This paper looks at the Cohesion Policy of the European Union (EU) and investigates how the&#13;
EU agricultural and rural development policies shape its influence on regional growth. The&#13;
analysis of the drivers of regional growth shows that the EU Regional Policy has a positive&#13;
and significant influence on economic growth in all regions. However, its impact is stronger&#13;
in the most socio-economically advanced areas and is maximised when its expenditure is&#13;
complemented by Rural Development and Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) funds. The&#13;
top-down funding of the CAP seems to be able to concentrate some benefits in the most&#13;
deprived areas. Conversely only the most dynamics rural areas are capable of leveraging on&#13;
the bottom-up measures of the EU Rural Development Policy. This suggests that EU policy&#13;
makers in all fields should constantly look for the best mix of bottom-up and top-down&#13;
measures in order to tackle structural disadvantage.</dc:description>
