| Content: |
The derivation of ex-post and ex-ante
evaluation tools that combine innovative econometric methods, i.e.
propensity score matching, double difference methodology and generalized
matching approaches. Comparison of different approaches measuring
quality of life and deduction of a quality of life index, recognizing
features of rural regions. Furthermore, the relation between migration
behavior and the regional quality of life is investigated. A Rural
Development Index (RDI) is developed and estimated which allows
assessment of an overall impact of RD programmes at the regional level
(ex-ante and ex-post applications). |

| Approach: |
Area of research are �applied and agricultural
economics�; different matching techniques are applied for ex-ante and
ex-post evaluation of rural development programmes. Spatial econometric
techniques serve to investigate the relation of migration behavior and
regional quality of life; furthermore, the data envelopment analysis is
used to receive technical efficiency values which result in a quality of
life measure. |
