摘要:The present UK government has begun a radical overhaul of regional policy, as outlined in HM Treasury (2001) and HM Treasury et al (2003). One particular change is the decentralisation and delegation of regional policy delivery in England to Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) that are motivated and controlled through target setting (McVittie and Swales, 2004a). A major argument for decentralisation is that indigenous institutions have informational advantages over central government in the delivery of a flexible and discretionary regional policy that is sensitive to local economic conditions (HM Treasury et al., (2003).1
