Report including the database development and implementation and how it supports all the project WPs

Deliverable 2.1 described the newly developed, EU-wide database on perceptions of structural and cohesion funds (and reasons why these funds may or may not be supported), how it integrates the data gathered from the first independent EU-wide survey for EU countries and regions (analysis run by GU in WP1) with the secondary data available (e.g. Eurobarometer data, EuroStat Regional Statistics and other existing secondary sources). The deliverable will also explain how the database will support the quantitative analysis in WP2 (spatial analysis using multivariate statistics and convergence analysis using both parametric and non-parametric methods such as the Stochastic Kernel and Semi-Markovian matrices).
