Las disparidades pueden entenderse como el resultado de un fallo del mercado. Por lo tanto, es preciso llevar a cabo intervenciones que guarden relación con un proceso de regeneración. A fin de abordar este problema, la Comisión Europea decidió presentar la iniciativa de Ayuda Europea Conjunta en Apoyo de Inversiones Sostenibles en Zonas Urbanas (JESSICA), como parte de la política de cohesión ejecutada en el período comprendido entre 2007 y 2013. JESSICA es un instrumento financiero rotatorio que se centra en el desarrollo sostenible de las ciudades, y 11 Estados miembros decidieron poner a prueba la solución propuesta. El primer país en firmar el acuerdo fue Polonia, que implantó JESSICA en cinco regiones (Pomorskie, Mazowieckie, Śląskie, Wielkopolskie y Zachodniopomorskie). Este enfoque innovador entrañó numerosos desafíos para todas las partes interesadas (actores europeos, regionales y locales procedentes tanto del sectorpúblico como del privado) que participaron en la planificación y la implementación de la iniciativa. La metodología empleada se basa en el paradigma positivista, que examina las relaciones causales entre las intervenciones públicas (proyectos) y sus efectos. Se ha adoptado un enfoque realista en las técnicas de evaluación, así como en nuestra propia evaluación de todos los proyectos, realizada por expertos, que se han fundamentado a través de numerosas herramientas analíticas como el agrupamiento jerárquico y aglomerativo. De las principales conclusiones del estudio se desprende que los proyectos ejecutados en Polonia tan solo cumplen parcialmente los supuestos teóricos, y que las imensiones social y horizontal del desarrollo sostenible han estado infrarrepresentadas. Se observan ciertas divergencias a nivel regional en lo que respecta al enfoque modelo, y una región destaca en cuanto a la calidad de los proyectos (Zachodniopomorskie). Los proyectos relacionados con el patrimonio histórico o cultural, seguidos de los que se centran en la reconversión de los terrenos industriales abandonados, son los que mejor reflejan la complejidad del desarrollo urbano sostenible10aEU10aEU funds10afinancial engineering10aJESSICA10aPoland10asustainable development10aurban regeneration1 aMusiałkowska, Ida1 aIdczak, Piotr  uhttps://hdl.handle.net/11362/4868502358nam a2200253   4500008004100000020001800041245011800059210006900177260003100246300001000277520154600287653002001833653000701853653001301860653002601873653001201899653001101911653002201922653001701944653002301961100001801984700002302002856007902025       2022                        eng d  a978311076219800aFinancial Engineering in Sustainable Funding of Urban Development in the EU Reflections on the JESSICA Initiative0 aFinancial Engineering in Sustainable Funding of Urban Developmen  aBerlin/ BostonbDe Gruyter  a1-2433 aThis theoretically rooted and research-based book provides insights on the JESSICA funding model which – unlike the traditional non-repayable aid – focuses on supporting sustainable urban development projects in a repayable and recyclable way. Looking through the lens of the JESSICA financial engineering mechanism used in urban transformation, it examines the functioning and performance thereof and formulates policy recommendations for the future. The aim of this volume is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the JESSICA sustainable funding model by exploring its repayable assistance mechanism to support sustainable urban development projects. The authors make several noteworthy contributions to the literature on EU cohesion policy and shed light on the use of the repayable instruments within public interventions, while providing, for the first time, a critical analysis of the JESSICA sustainable funding model from the holistic perspective which is especially relevant for supporting sustainable urban development. Financial Engineering in Sustainable Funding of Urban Development in the EU provides policy-significant findings that are important for EU cohesion policy in the field of repayable assistance to be reinvested in the long term in urban and regional transformation. Includes an in-depth exploration of the particular aspects of EU cohesion policy Provides theoretical discussion and empirics illustrated by figures and maps.

However, these countries followed different development trajectories and reacted differently to the economic crisis. Some of them still struggle, others thrive, others, afteryears of structural transformation, are stuck in a middle-income trap.Successes and failures as a result of EU cohesion implementation are avaluable source of feedback for future plans. Southern part of the EU, and Central and Eastern Europe provide an excellent opportunity to evaluatethem, The whole implementation exercise is sometimes challenging to accomplish, as both the public and private sectors have low absorption capacity. In contrast, positive experiences also emerged. Regions in Central and Eastern European countries witnessed improvements in the form of change in GDP per capita, benchmarked against the EU average during theyears 2008-2015, while Southern Europe improved similarly between 2000-2008. In this volume, the authors cover a variety of aforementioned problems and experiences of either all member states, with special attention to peripheral countries, or to sectoral or regional problems in selected countries. The book begins with an overview of the issues of economic convergence and quality of life in all member states. It also addresses political aspects of EU cohesion policy, including involvement of civil society into this public policy, as well as relationships between cohesion policy support and EU identification. The final section discusses an important novelty in the framework of EU cohesion policy, namely the JESSICA initiative, that is, an instrument offering repayable and recyclable funding targeted at economically-viable and sustainable urban development projects. Authors are engaged in research on EU cohesion policy and represent severaldisciplines: economics, political and social sciences.10aCentral and Eastern Europe10acohesion policy10aconvergence10aEU funds10aEuropean Union10aregeneration10aSouthern Europe1 aMusiałkowska, Ida1 aIdczak, Piotr1 aPotluka, Oto  uhttps://www.degruyter.com/view/title/580682?language=en00768nas a2200241   4500008004100000020002200041245014300063210006900206250000600275260002400281300001200305490000600317653001300323653002600336653001200362653001100374653001700385653001600402653001800418100002300436700001800459856004900477       2016                        eng d  a978-83-7417-918-800aThe use of repayable financial instruments in the process of regeneration of degraded urban areas on the example of the JESSICA initiative0 ause of repayable financial instruments in the process of regener  a1  aPoznańbPUEB Press  a115-1360 v110aEU funds10afinancial instruments10aJESSICA10aPoland10aregeneration10aurban areas10aWielkopolskie1 aMusiałkowska, Ida1 aIdczak, Piotr  uhttps://depot.ceon.pl/handle/123456789/1208302118nas a2200229   4500008004100000022001400041245011400055210006900169300001000238490000900248520137400257653002001631653001301651653001501664653001101679653002601690653002401716653004801740100001801788700002301806856005901829       2014                        eng d  a2336-114X00aAssessment of the System of Project Selection under the Cohesion Policy "The Case of the Wielkopolska Region"0 aAssessment of the System of Project Selection under the Cohesion  a69-980 v20143 a<p>The current year 2014 allows/has allowed for the first attempts to evaluate the operations, organization and implementation of the Cohesion Policy 2007-2013. The authors have analysed one of the elements that might have an impact on the results obtained under the regional operational programme in the Wielkopolska region in Poland, namely the modes of&nbsp;the&nbsp;selection of projects. This element of the whole cycle of projects is an&nbsp;under-researched subject of scientific analyses even though the project selection itself has been deeply examined by (various) control institutions (the European Court of Auditors, Supreme Audit Offices etc.). The authors use evaluation concepts and a strategic management lens, and formulate five research questions on: the conditions necessary for the transparency of project selection, the main factors determining the choice of the adopted selection mode, the impact of the selection mode on the results, the quality of the work of experts, and the efficiency of the appeal procedures for&nbsp;beneficiaries – trying to answer all these questions in the subsequent sections of the article. The methods used comprise analyses of legislation, reports, primary data and in-depth-interviews with the stakeholders. The&nbsp;research has also practical implications and can be a valuable case-study for policy-makers.</p>10acohesion policy10aEU funds10aevaluation10aPoland10aselection of projects10aWielkopolska region10aWielkopolska Regional Operational Programme1 aIdczak, Piotr1 aMusiałkowska, Ida  uhttps://www.evaltep.cz/inpage/assessment-wielkopolska/no socket
