Task Force Economic Development

The task force "Neuausrichtung der Förderlandschaft" (Realignment of the Funding Landscape) is a network of the economic research institutes WIFO, the Institute for Advanced Studies, Eco Austria and Economica. The overarching objective of the task force is to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of funding by means of a coherent overall funding strategy that is adapted to changing conditions. The fundamental objective of the task force is to identify efficiency potential and develop reform proposals. In a first step, the present project will conduct a structured expert assessment of selected support programmes in the areas of social affairs, the environment and climate. Based on this, a comprehensive economic impact analysis is to be carried out in follow-up projects.
