This paper examines the impact of regional state aid on regional disparities. It finds that the effect of state aid on regional cohesion is ambiguous, partly because state aid is not proportionally granted to the most needy regions. In the context of the forthcoming debate on reform of regional policy it follows that member states should limit the geographic coverage of regional aid and should take into account the possible trade-offs between other types of state aid and regional development or cohesion.http://www.ier.ro/documente/rjea_vol4_no2/RJEA_Vol4_No2_A_POLICY_AT_WAR_WITH_ITSELF_STATE_AID_AND_REGIONAL_COHESION.pdfstate aidcohesionregional policy
