This paper draws on a number of recent studies to shed light on several policy issues raised by the impact of environmental policies on technological innovation. First, to what extent does induced innovation raise the overall net benefits to society from environmental policies? Second, how does induced innovation affect the appropriate choice among alternative environmental policy instruments? ...

Innovations have an important role in sustainability transitions and although transition policy is broader than just the stimulation of innovations for sustainability innovation policy can be an important part of transition policy. However, in this paper we argue that there is too little attention for the alignment of transition policy and innovation policy and that this misalignment might hamp...

innovation strategy is the basis of success in innovation and performance improvement. this paper represents a model related to the most important innovation strategies which have a significant impact on performance of industries. then, it examines the relationships between innovation strategies and diversity and development of the performance. so, the empirical research was carried out in iran...

The paper uses a reduced-form vector autoregressive framework to study the effects of quantitative easing and operation ‘‘twist’’, as well as a conventional monetary expansion, on corporate bond yields and spreads. We construct ratingand maturity-based weekly bond portfolios using TRACE and simulate monetary policies as shocks to the Treasury yield curve. We find that none of the policies can p...

Complementarities in Innovation Policy by Pierre Mohnen and Lars-Hendrik Röller This paper develops a framework for testing discrete complementarities in innovation policy using European data on obstacles to innovation. We propose a discrete test of supermodularity in innovation policy leading to a number of inequality constraints. We apply our test to two types of innovation decisions: to inno...

this study aimed at identifying and analyzing issues and challenges on the agricultural research and technology development under the national innovation framework. the survey consisted of two groups: agricultural researchers of agriculture-research and education organization and all faculty members of public agricultural faculties of ministry of scientific, research and technology. using cochr...

In recent decades, the role of policy networks in public promotion of innovation has been highlighted in Western innovation policies and innovation theories. However, a knowledge gap still prevails concerning the paradox that while emphasizing decentralization and inclusion in theory, innovation theories and policies are characterized by a top-down approach in practice, ascribing superiority to...

Economic research on innovation has long discussed which policy instruments best foster innovativeness in individuals and organizations. One of the instruments easily accessible to policy-makers is innovation contests; however, there is ambiguous empirical evidence concerning how such contests should be designed. Our experimental study provides evidence by analyzing the effects of two different...

Based on the empirical findings achieved in a comparative research, involving 40 innovation policy instruments in 11 European regions, this paper exposes the claim for a new innovation policy paradigm and proposes a shift in rationale and in broad orientations for innovation policy, addressing SMEs in their regional context. The main role for innovation policy, which aims to increase the capaci...
