How can we enhance the efficiency and equity of public policies to better align them with society's needs? This is the core question driving a new research project led by Professor María Teresa Balaguer Coll at the Universitat Jaume I in Castelló. Supported by the Generalitat Valenciana, which has selected UJI as one of the two beneficiaries in the 2024 call for research groups in public economics, the project blends academic theory with practical applications to foster more effective public management tailored to citizens' needs.

Building on a well-established line of inquiry, the project incorporates findings from a doctoral thesis directed by Professor Balaguer Coll. Previous research has provided valuable insights into the effects of institutional actions on economic growth and regional development, emphasizing funding inequalities in regions like the Valencian Community, which suffers from underfunding and its adverse economic repercussions.

In this new phase, the project will delve deeper into the impact of public services and economic management on local administrations. It will also explore how gender equality policies can influence economic growth and fairer resource distribution, as well as the role of inter-municipal collaboration in optimizing the use of public resources.

The primary goal is not only to advance scientific understanding but also to offer actionable recommendations that empower public administrations to make more informed and effective decisions. The project aims to ensure public policies are long-term solutions that reduce social and economic disparities while truly addressing citizens' needs.

Through this initiative, the Universitat Jaume I underscores its commitment to society by contributing to the development of more sustainable, inclusive, and equitable policies that improve quality of life. This research project (HIECPU/2024/1) is funded by the Regional Ministry of Finance, Economy and Public Administration.
