With the Austrian Rural Development Programme 2007-2013, public funds amounting to 1.1 billion € per year were used. It financed
measures to improve the quality of the environment, to maintain management in less-favoured areas and productivity-enhancing
investments. The effects of the programme on employment, value added and emissions were analysed using regionally differentiated
quantitative models for the agricultural sector and the national economy. This analysis was supplemented by econometric studies
on aspects of quality of life at the level of individual communities. The results show that the programme has kept abandoned
agricultural sites in production, increased employment, increased economic value added and reduced the environmental impact
of nitrogen surpluses and greenhouse gas emissions. These effects varied greatly from region to region. The quality of life
indicators examined do not present a uniform picture.
