Evaluation of Greek Integrated Mediterranean Programmes(IMPs) socio-economic effects
2001
Karayiannis, P.
In the 1980's, Greece was one of the Mediterranean countries with socio-economic indicators far below the European average, and with a great concentration in agriculture. A similar situation was more or less prevalent in some regions of Italy and France. This divergence from other better off European regions, together with the forthcoming entry to the European Community of two purely agricultural countries (Spain and Portugal), gave the impetus for steps to be taken. Integrated Mediterranean Programmes (IMPs) were multiannual programmes which included activities in all sectors of the economy. This study aims at an evaluation of the Greek IMPs, both at a regional and national level. A twofold analysis was carried out and a number of indicators (macroeconomic variables and qualitative estimates) were used as evaluation criteria. This research provides both theoretical and empirical results, and describes the impact these programmes had on various sectors of the Greek economy
