Abstract
MacKay R. (1979) The death of regional policy—or resurrection squared? Reg. Studies 13, 281–295. The emphasis is on change in regional performance as we move from weak to strong regional policies. With employment measured in different ways we can look for consistency checks, the timing of change and the nature of important alterations in performance. There are strong indications of a substantial regional policy impact. Regional policy (1945–51) provided more than a temporary improvement in the expansion path of the assisted regions. Change in the age of capital is regarded as an important indication of alteration in growth potential. As national unemployment has risen the emphasis has moved from regional specific policies to the difficulties of the aggregate economy.
