| Description | The main objective of this study is to show how various direct effects of grant programs can be estimated using advanced econometric evaluation methodologies. The empirical analysis is focused on evaluating the effects of the Czech national grant program for rural renewal and development. A propensity score methodology is applied to identify differences in specific indicators on a municipality level comparing the group of program beneficiaries with an appropriately selected control group. |
