Title: The impact of regional development agencies on regional socio-economic development : implications for Gozo Abstract: This study appraises the impact of Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) on regional socio-economic development in Europe to derive implications and conclusions for the case of Gozo. A mixed methodology is utilised combining regression analysis, surveys with European RDAs and a case study on the Gozo Regional Development Authority (GRDA). This study concludes that the GRDA is a step forward in the right direction towards enhancing Gozo’s socio-economic development through place-based policies. The degree of success can be enhanced if the GRDA is granted implementation powers and capabilities, and if it focuses more effectively on innovation in all areas of its activities.

Title: Economic factors underpinning the real estate market in Gozo Abstract: The real estate market in Malta and Gozo attracts a lot of interest. This is to be expected given the contribution of this sector to the local economy in terms of value added and employment, the fact that the last few years have saw an intensification of activities, and also due to the externalities that construction generates. This paper seeks to explore the main supply and demand dynamics that have occurred in the real estate market in Gozo over the past decade. The main objective is that of presenting for discussion the question on whether the supply coming to the market can be understood by demand fundamentals, or whether the Island is collectively over-investing and over allocating resources to property development, thereby creating an excess supply situation.
