| Title | Interbudgetary Transfers and Regional Economic Development. Case of Ukraine. |
| Summary | The aim of this paper was to investigate the usefulness of interbudgetary transfers and, alternatively, public investments as tools of regional convergence between poor and rich regions in Ukraine. For analytical purposes, data was collected for 25 regions and covered 8 years from 2004 till 2011, with carefully selected variables and specifications to best answer the underlying research questions. OLS and pooled OLS methods were used for the econometric estimations. The findings show that neither transfers, nor public investments influence the productivity growth in the poor regions. Therefore, the current design and implementation of fiscal policy does not promote further convergence between the regions. |
