EU policy and programme evaluation at the ESOC-LAB
ESOC-LAB has a distinguished record in evaluation through its many projects on the economic and social impact of development policies and programmes. The innovative application of the multi-method approach incorporating modelling, survey, and other methods, is a key feature of these works. ESOC-LAB projects have evaluated the impacts of policies and programmes at the levels of the EU and of individual Member States, as well as at the territorial levels of Regions and localities.
ESOC-LAB's experience in policy and programme evaluation has therefore focused on the levels of: the European Union and Member States, and Regions and localities.
Below is a list of selected projects in both lines of evaluation.
