Beyond the Entrepreneurial State

Beyond the entrepreneurial State – The evaluation of the incentives to increase the propensity to invest in R&D
In partnership with Sant’anna University for Italy’s Ministry for Economic Development.

YEAR2021

This evaluation project concerns the financing of RD&I projects in the context of ERDF 2007-2013. The policy was delivered through two calls for proposals, carried out in favor of enterprises located in the Italian “convergence regions” (Calabria, Campania, Apulia and Sicily). The objective of the calls is the increase in competitiveness through innovation, in the Mezzogiorno’s enterprises.

The evaluation plan included four set of activities:

  1. The analysis of the context, of the ratio and of the implementation mechanisms of the policy;
  2. The analysis of the actual process of implementation;
  3. A quantitative, counterfactual analysis;
  4. A qualitative analysis of four case studies.
