Summary The significant diversity of EU rural areas in terms of population, natural resourceendowments and socio-economic structures is likely to result in different impacts ofpolicy changes and economic developments. This paper attempts to reveal how EUstructural policy during 1989–1993 affected remote rural areas (with mixed andagriculturally dependent economic structures, respectively) in Northern andSouthern Europe, and to quantify the impacts on local growth generation throughthe use of a general equilibrium model. Finally, the impacts of three structuralpolicy scenarios (including Agenda 2000) on the rural economies studied areestimated.Keywords: structural policy, social accounting matrix, Greece, Finland, ScotlandJEL classification: Q18, R11, R58 Job No. 10298 MFK-Mendip Page: 149 of 178 Date: 23/7/04 Time: 7:27am Job ID: ERAE Op: mford j:/3b2/Oxford University Press/Journals/Erae/ERAE 2004-2/jbh011.3d European Review of Agricultural Economics vol. 31 no. 2 # Oxford University Press and Foundation for theEuropean Review of Agricultural Economics 2004; all rights reservedEuropean Review of Agricultural Economics Vol 31 (2) (2004) pp. 149–178
