General backgroud
• Economic activities are unevenly distributed across and within nations in the EU
• Complex nature: economic, geographical, institutional, social, historical factors
• Required different levels and tools of analysis

Working programme
• First year: assessment of the literature, preliminary work on theoretical models and 1st stage preparation of mathematical, computational and econometric tools;
• Second year: building more sophisticated models, 2nd stage preparation of mathematical, computational and econometric tools;
• Third year: integration of results originated from different lines of research; policy design and evaluations;
• Forth year: validation of results via calibration excercises and empirical analyses.

• Current composition of WGs (around 30%). It has to be improved
• A consistent percentage of STMs should be allocated to ESRs
