Abstract

The main goal of the EU regional policy is obtaining cohesion. However, development strategies differ in terms of investment concentration. The paper presents the theoretical models of the regional policy, illustrated with a case study of Polish strategies. Using the spatial interactions model, the range of the diffusion of economic incentives was estimated. A dynamic analysis of 1996-2017 NUTS4 panel data enabled the assessment of the results of development strategies. The outcome was confirmed with the L-moments analysis of entrepreneurship distribution over time. The method covered the period of the highest efficiency of the cohesion policy. The author also made an attempt to mark out factors responsible for the failure of the smart policy in Poland.
