Este trabajo aborda la absorción de los recursos de la UE y se centra en un aspecto que hasta ahora ha sido obviado en la literatura anterior: la variabilidad regional en la absorción de los Fondos Etructurales. A partir de los datos agregados regionales de la UE sobre asignación de fondos y pagos proporcionados por la Comisión Europea para el Programa Operativo 2007-2013 en el nivel NUTS2, observamos que la plena absorción fue más la excepción que la regla. Además, la alta heterogeneidad regional detectada en la absorción de los Fondos Estructurales no solo se observa en todos los países sino también entre las regiones de un mismo país, contradiciendo algunas explicaciones que se dieron en el pasado sobre el efecto de las estructuras administrativas en la capacidad de absorción de los fondos. Finalmente, el trabajo ofrece una discusión sobre cómo la falta de datos regionales disponibles a tiempo sobre los pagos de fondos de la UE dificulta el análisis de la efectividad de la absorción regional de los mismos.Asociación Española de Ciencia Regional (AECR)20202020-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10017/42087reponame:e_Buah Biblioteca Digital Universidad de Alcaláinstname:Universidad de Alcalá (UAH)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ebuah.uah.es:10017/420872026-06-18T11:13:07Z
