Abstract

This paper presents a macroeconomic impact assessment of the European Defence Fund (EDF) expenditure planned for the programming period 2021-2027. The analysis is carried out with the spatial dynamic computable general equilibrium model called RHOMOLO. According to this analysis, EDF investments can generate significant economic returns in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment. These economic benefits are long-lasting and are still significant ten years after the end of the programme, thanks to the productivity gains resulting from the R&D activities financed by the policy. Impact assessments such as the one presented here allow for continuous policy adjustment and ensure informed decision-making by evaluating potential economic outcomes, thereby increasing transparency and accountability to EU citizens and Member States.
