Abstract

This paper presents an assessment of the macroeconomic impact of the Digital Europe Programme, a cornerstone of the EU's commitment to drive digital transformation. Using the RHOMOLO spatial dynamic computable general equilibrium model, the analysis quantifies the effects of the programme's investments on EU economies. The results show a positive impact on GDP, with significant returns on investment, and improved EU competitiveness. The modelling simulations consider different scenarios, including digital spillovers, which enhance the programme's impact. The findings suggest that the programme can have a substantial effect on EU economies, with cumulative GDP multipliers increasing over time. The analysis provides valuable insights for policymakers, highlighting the potential benefits of investing in digital transformation and the importance of considering digital spillovers in policy evaluations.
