An evaluation culture in the EU Cohesion Policy is developing. It applies a more rigorous approach than few years ago. Although the European Commission is introducing a requirement for impact evaluations, such evaluations are still rare. An employment is one of the core objectives of EU policies. Application of the counterfactual impact evaluation on the EU Cohesion Policy enables the inquiry into how one of the most important EU policies operates. The analysis comprises a sample of 373 supported and 202 rejected applicants. The appraisal experts´ approach to applications is used as an instrumental variable to estimate the impacts of the assistance from the European Social Fund in Czech companies through interventions aimed at training of employees. The results indicate positive effects of the European Social Fund’s assistance in companies even one year after the support ended. The estimates vary between 3 838 and 5 513 created or saved jobs.

This paper evaluates the impact of two active labour market measures providing financial contributions to cover costs related to spatial mobility of the unemployed. One supports daily commuting and the other resettlement. For the purpose of evaluation, administrative data from the obligatory social insurance database and the official register of the unemployed were linked. Three indicators of outcome are identified, commuting time, the income of individuals and employment after the end of support. The richness of the data allowed us to use propensity score matching in order to rule out possible selectivity issues. After achieving satisfactory balance, we have yielded comprehensive and robust, significant positive effects of both of the measures under evaluation. The estimated impact differs regionally and is based on the individual characteristics of the beneficiaries.
