Innovation and Economic Infrastructures DIMETICS Pecs July Keith Smith Australian Innovation Research Centre

Innovation and infrastructures: a preliminary observation Its striking how many major innovations have emerged from what we loosely call ‘infrastructures’ (that is, universities, government labs, public programmes, state-owned institutions, the military) Computing, aircraft, biotech, NC machine tools, internet, www, etc Why? What exactly are the ‘infrastructures’ and why are they important to innovation?

Background Funding issues since the end of the Cold War; decline of defence spending and related research infrastructures Privatisation of infrastructure Concerns in EU about impact of FRAMEWORK programmes Long-term implications of moves towards applicability, private funding, 'user-directed research' etc

Basic issue There is no developed concept of 'infrastructure' in economic or other social theory. The word 'infrastructure' is used in ad hoc ways, often very different from each other.

Three aspects of infrastructure Frameworks of law, regulation, institutions etc which shape and guide behaviour. Contract law, health and safety standards, intellectual property rights, employment law and regulation etc. Developed via legislative decision and enforcement. Cultural values and norms Developed via the evolution of co-operation Capital goods that are collectively used Utilities (electricity, water etc) Health systems, hospitals etc Universities, research labs, etc Developed via large-scale investment decisions and programmes

Research on infrastructure Econometric studies of the role of utilities investment. Shows correlation between infrastructure investment and productivity growth Innovation-oriented studies of 'technological infrastructures'. Emphasizes importance of background institutions.

Three basic questions In what ways are 'infrastructures' different from capital goods in general? From an economic perspective, is a road different from a car factory? Why is it that infrastructures have often been provided by the public sector, or closely regulated by the public sector? What are the economic effects of infrastructures?

A definition THE ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE CONSISTS OF LARGE-SCALE INDIVISIBLE CAPITAL GOODS, PRODUCING GOODS OR SERVICES WHICH ENTER ON A MULTI- USER BASIS AS INPUTS INTO MOST OR ALL ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES

Characteristics of infrastructures TECHNOLOGICAL: - SCALE - INDIVISIBILITY - MULTI-USER - LONGEVITY ECONOMIC: - NETWORK EXTERNALITIES - "QUASI" PUBLIC GOODS - TIME HORIZONS IN INVESTMENT APPRAISAL - ECONOMIES OF SCALE - NATURAL MONOPOLY
