ABSTRACT: Ever since
the accession of Spain to the European Economic Community, Andalusia has been
recipient of European Funds. This paper proposes an analysis that will reveal
the economic impact of the European Funds received by the Autonomous Region of
Andalusia during the period 2007-2013. With this purpose, a Computable General
Equilibrium (CGE) model will be implemented to assess, in different simulation
scenarios, the effects of those funds on the main macroeconomic indicators. The
results will highlight the significant contribution of the European Funds to
the regional growth during the period analysed.
