TY - JOUR TI - Structural Funds, EU Enlargement, and the Redistribution of FDI in Europe AB - The EU enlargements of 2004 led to a redirection of Structural and Cohesion Funds expenditures from EU-15 to new EU members as did those of 2007. This redistribution of funds makes the accession countries even more attractive as a location of FDI. Using a logistic regressions approach, this paper shows that a reallocation of structural funds as outlined in Agenda (For a stronger and wider union, COM(97) 2000 final, 2000) and successive revisions of the financial perspectives for an enlarged union leads to a redistribution of FDI by approximately 4-8 percentage points from the current EU members to the accession countries(2004 scenario) and 7-10 percentage points (2007 scenario), respectively.
