PERCEIVE project - Deliverable D6.1 "Report on causal qualitative model"

The scope of the Deliverable 6.1 is to introduce the causal qualitative model developed in the context of the PERCEIVE project. The model aims at simulating: (i) the manner in which the European Cohesion Policy funds are distributed among the regions under study and the factors that affect the related absorption, along with the (ii) the diverse streams of communication of the European Cohesion Policy projects and outcomes that influence the citizens' awareness. In addition, real data that capture the behaviour of the regional EU structural funds’ absorption and the related citizens’ awareness are collected and presented to investigate the dynamic properties of the data under study, as well as the patterns that occur in different regions (or nations), different programming periods and different EU funds.
