This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is aimed at assessing the feasibility of Counterfactual Impact Evaluation (CIE) as an advantageous evaluation method of European Social Fund (ESF) interventions, to be used at EU level, relying on data collected at national level. The study is based on a mix of desk analysis, field analysis, questionnaires and interviews with Managing Authorities and Institutions holding relevant data, as well as econometrics. First, an exploratory analysis of available administrative data in each Member State of the EU was carried out. Then, three CIE pilot evaluations were produced, focusing on ESF operations for long-term unemployed (in Italy, Slovakia and Spain). A further CIE pilot, concerning ESF interventions for early school leavers in Belgium was planned but it was not possible to obtain the necessary data in due time. The pilot evaluation on the Veneto region provides an analysis of an ESF supported operation consisting of training and/or internship. It found a positive and statistically significant effect of the support: in fact, the probability of participants to be employed 18 months after the enrolment in the operation is 14% higher than for the control group (who have not participated in ESF operations). In Slovakia, the pilot study concerned an ESF intervention aimed at supporting jobseekers by providing paid jobs in public sector. It found a positive effect on employment: treated people have a probability of being employed 2.2 percentage points higher than the control group after 18 months the completion of the intervention. Also the pilot carried out in Catalonia found a positive impact on employment: 16 months after launching the interventions, ESF operations increased the employment rate by 12 percentage points among the participants in comparison to the control group. The findings of the study confirm the possibility of conducting CIE of labour market operations using administrative data, in the considered 26 Member States. CIE can be also used for assessing education operations, in many but not all the considered Member States. Notwithstanding the feasibility of using CIE, in many cases several improvements with respect to data accessibility and usability should be implemented by Member States, for instance by applying a ‘one-stop-shop’ approach to data delivery, as well as unified and simplified protocols for privacy rules. Improvements in data quality can also extend the application of CIE techniques and improve the robustness of the results. It is also recommended to anticipate planning of CIE in the design stage of the ESF operations and to promote dedicated communication for disseminating evaluation results. At EU level, the implementation of a unique European CIE of similar ESF operations, implemented in several countries, is a hypothetical possibility which, however, for theoretical and practical reasons is not feasible. In order to produce a valid policy assessment at EU level, another approach would consist of coordinating, comparing and summarising a pool of national or regional CIEs that examine very similar interventions. However, given the heterogeneity in actual programme implementation, beneficiary groups and data contents, such an approach is challenging. A meta-analysis is a third possibility which, potentially, can be implemented more directly. This approach would be feasible, based on current and evolving CIE practices, but it is likely to produce better results when the data collection is systematic and the number of individual CIEs is large enough. A CIE policy by the Commission should aim at ensuring adequate coverage of the different ESF operations and set quality standards, with a view to increasing comparability among national CIEs.

Book excerpt: "This Eurostat publication, entitled "Sustainable development in the European Union - A statistical glance from the viewpoint of the UN Sustainable Development Goals", provides an overview of the current situation of the EU and its Member States on sustainable development in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This publication follows a strictly descriptive approach, presenting a purely statistical picture based on facts and figures. It provides rather a snapshot of the starting position of the EU and its Member States and is not intended as a regular SDG monitoring exercise at EU level. The analysis in this publication is based on a limited number of indicators, which are relevant to the EU perspective and capture the broader objective and ambition of each SDG. Each goal is analysed through two to four indicators. In total, 51 indicators are presented in the report, mainly obtained from the European Statistical System and disseminated by Eurostat. The analysis of Member States' performance and international comparisons focus on the most recent year for each indicator. EU-28 trends over time are also presented, covering the period from 2000 or 2002 up to the most recent year for which data are available (2014 or 2015)."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This evaluation report forms part of a suite of research gathering evidence on the delivery of the European Social Fund (ESF). It aims to improve understanding of the processes, range and delivery of ESF Priority 1 and Priority 4 provision within the 2007-2013 England and Gibraltar ESF Operational Programme (OP). Priority 1 and Priority 4 seek to increase employment and tackle worklessness through a mix of employment and skills provision, intended to support people to enter jobs and in some instances progress within work. The research is based on ten in-depth case studies of the delivery of Priority 1 and 4 provision, involving a total of 182 interviews with stakeholders in ESF Co-Financing Organisations, Jobcentre Plus, and ESF delivery contractors. Fieldwork for the evaluation was undertaken between January and March 2011. The evaluation was part-funded by ESF technical assistance under the 2007-2013 England and Gibraltar ESF programme evaluation strategy." -- Back cover.
Download or read book Green Finance in the European Union written by Marta Postuła and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While global challenges continue to reshape the here and now, public and corporate finance management needs to adapt quickly to increase the efficiency of institutions, enterprises and policies to face our new reality. There are very few publications that offer a comprehensive approach to the financing of environmental protection activities by the European Union. This book explores this topic from various angles and levels, as well as highlighting the determinants that influence micro- and macro-level decisions in this area. It presents an in-depth and unique analysis of the sources of funding for environmental measures implemented by European Union institutions, against the backdrop of national expenditure by Member States, and analyses the plausibility of the adopted targets in the run-up to 2050, in the context of the war in Ukraine and ad hoc energy policy solutions. This book is a voice in an ongoing discussion among the community of practitioners and theoreticians on sources of financing for the energy transition to achieve independence from Russian sources in the quickest possible timeframe. It demonstrates that environmental measures cannot occur without the financial participation of economic actors and financial institutions, particularly the capital market, and further underscores the scale of involvement in environmental projects, as measured by the value of green loans and green bonds covered by European financial institutions. The authors offer policy recommendations for financing activities related to environmental policy, notably energy transition. This book will appeal to scholars, students and researchers of corporate finance, banking, strategic and public finance management as well as polic-ymakers and practitioners involved in green finance investments.
