Enterprise and innovation policies in comparison: where do the Italian regions go? Marco Mariani Tuscany’s Regional Institute for Economic Planning Project supported by: AISRe – Italian Association of Regional Sciences Tuscany’s Regional Government

 Regions as key actors of industrial policy  The objectives of the analysis  Market failures and their remedies  The empirical analysis: can we detect any “model” of regional policy? Outline

Regions as key actors of industrial policy Firm support, innovation and research remain within the concurrent legislative competence of State-Regions

The objective of our analysis  (p.p – policy learning) During the first programming period, the regional policy makers have set the stage. They have inherited some national policies, and - in some cases- they have experimented their own tools & interventions (Brancati, 2004; Bellandi and Caloffi, 2006).  (p.p – policy ?) Once defined their policy-making infrastructures & experimented some tools: 1. What is regional industrial policy today? 2. Can we identify any regional policy model?

Market failures … and their remedies

The empirical analysis Analysis of the regional programming documents (POR) + implementation documents + call for tenders issued by the Italian regions 1. Market failures and policy objectives 2. Beneficiaries’ and projects’ features 3. Specific features of the policy tool 4. Policy target(s) The weights used: the ERDF funds used by the various interventions as of june 2012

1. Market failures & policy goals Goals R&D investmentOther kind of investment Market failures positive externalities, spillovers 1. R&D incentives for single firms coordination failures 2. Incentives to R&D collaboration; 3. Innovation poles and clusters, production chains/filières, technology transfer information asymmetries 3. Micro-level interventions on credit and capital markets negative externalities 4. Eco-incentives network externalities 5. Diffusion of ICTs incomplete information 6. Information campaigns, diffusion of management/marketing techniques and practices to raise organizational performance

1. Market failures & policy goals R&D for single firms R&D collabs Poles Credit New firms Eco-incentives IT-organization Consultancy Mix-generic

2. The beneficiaries Single firms Collaborating agents Others

3. Types of incentives Admission procedure: Over 80% of the interventions is based on mechanisms of evaluation / negotiazion Only 13% has semi- automatic nature (almost) no automatic incentives Non-repayable grants Repayable grant, or subsidized loan Mixed Public venture capital Public loan guarantees

4. Targets (1) % budget on technological targets % budget on territorial targets

4. Targets (2) % budget on tech targets % budget on sectoral targets

Cluster analysis: the variables VariableDescriptionObsMeanStd. Dev.MinMax R&S Pct of funds devoted to R&D support Tech focus Pct of funds devoted to specific technologies Partnership Pct of funds devoted to R&D collaborations SMEs + LF Pct of funds devoted to programs that do not exclude large firms (LF)

Cluster analysis: the methodology  We compare the results obtained by using hierarchical methods (centroid-based)  We choose the k-medians, which leads to the more balanced results Given a set of obs (x 1, x 2, …, x n ), where each obs is a d-dimensional vector, the n obs are divided into k groups (k<n), G= {G 1, G 2, …, G k } so that Where arg min is the argument of the minimum, i.e. the partition into k groups, among all the possible partitions, such that the within group “variability” reach its lower value and Me i is the median within each G i

Anti-crisis policies? What kind of industrial policies (can be turned to) pursue anti-cyclical purposes? How can we identify an anti-crisis policy?  In theory: in some cases this goal comes with the type of program (e.g. support to liquidity), while in others this goal is less explicit (e.g. public loan guarantees for investments, grants for short-term projects). Other policies may hardly viewed as anti-cyclical (e.g.: tech cluster policies)  In practice: we check whether explicit reference is made to anti-crisis purposes in the programs (this happens, e.g. in Piedmont, Molise and Tuscany). Alternatively, we check whether the presence of an anti-crisis goal can be deduced by the way the policies is being implemented (Lombardy, Umbria, Campania)

Concluding remarks  Different priorities  Some attention on collaborative R&D, but – overall – the support to individual firms through subsidies or financial engineering has a larger weight  In spite of recent emphasis on innovation clusters & poles, only a few regions are strongly betting on territorially targeted policies  Southern regions of Italy can be described by the trinomial: generic investments, single firms, low level of targeting. Their situation is not very different from the previous p.p. (Bellandi and Caloffi, 2006)  Central-Northern regions of Italy place a major emphasis on R&D (also on collaborative R&D). They have a different policy attitude towards large firms
