The analysis is based on panel data estimations of 254 European regions for the period between 1995 and 2009. Different instrumental variable techniques have been employed in order to assess the extent to which differences in local government quality affect preference rankings for different locations and to account for potential endogeneity concerns. The results point towards an important influence of specific factors related to the regional quality of government, such as the fight against corruption or government effectiveness, on the ability of European regions to position themselves as attractive places for future residents.
