  • This paper examines the relevance of new theoretical insights emerging from the new economic geography (NEG) for the evaluation of regional competitiveness policies. The major value of the NEG for evaluation is that it offers a clear theory of change on how policy can be expected to impact on regional competitiveness and a theoretical framework for assessing impacts on national growth as well as spatial equity. Its insights can inform the questions that evaluators ask and the processes and impacts they seek to measure. Examination of NEG predictions suggests that regional policy evaluation needs to meet several new challenges. These include extending the scope of the policy activities evaluated, assessing inter-relationships among regions, assessing impacts on net agglomeration economies, evaluating the trade-off between national growth and spatial equity and understanding threshold effects.
