RT journal article T1 Analysis of Regional Efficiency in the Use of the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (FEMP) in the Eurozone Countries A1 Blanco Canto, Miguel A1 Bares López, Lydia A1 Ferasso, Marcos A2 Economía General K1 efficiency K1 economic growth K1 regional disparities K1 employment in the fishing sector K1 Data Envelopment Analysis K1 FEMP AB The European Union (EU) launched the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) in the 1970s.Currently, a large part of the CFP has been financed with the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund(FEMP). This research aims to determine whether there is a high degree of homogeneity in the levelsof efficiency achieved by the fishing projects financed by European Funds for the period 2014 to 2020.The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology was adopted. The main results showed thatthere is a high degree of heterogeneity in the level of efficiency achieved by European countries duringthe analyzed period. Moreover, despite the fact that regional efficiency has been increasing during theyears under study, territorial disparities persist over time. This research provides a contribution forpolicymakers targeting better use of the FEMP funds for the upcoming funding package 2021–2027 PB MDPI SN 2410-3888 YR 2022 FD 2022-04 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/26940 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/26940 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 08-nov-2026
