Olimpia Fontana’s Post

If our paper on European #industrialpolicy with Olimpia Fontana feels too long to read - we know you are busy! -, then you might want to read quickly this commentary that summarises it: https://lnkd.in/efvcFMaT #europeanunion #greentransition #strategicautonomy European Parliamentary Research Service

Is there a misalignment between EU cohesion policy and the EU’s industrial policy? 🇪🇺🏭 Tea Gamtkitsulashvili and Vassilis Monastiriotis (LSE European Institute and Hellenic Observatory) write on LSE European Politics and Policy that while the former targets less developed areas of the EU, the latter aids well-developed regions. They argue for a move towards a more spatially aware, regionally inclusive industrial policy framework that would allow the EU to target areas with untapped growth potential.

Out now! On the "elective affinities" (and tensions) between #EU #IndustrialPolicy and #CohesionPolicy - our #EUROPP blog (with Tea Gamtkitsulashvili) drawing on our study for the Luiss Hub for New Industrial Policy and Economic Governance #LUHNIP

A very important insight in European industrial policy:

How to make European industrial policy work

It will be interesting to see how the debate about regulation is reflected in the political guidelines for the next European Commission. Well-designed legislation is important both for public goods and for innovation, as I describe in this blog. Only focusing on reducing regulation is risky. Look at legislative gaps and where more action is needed - also to lead the global competitive race. https://lnkd.in/gBhyfVu2

A very useful read!

The protection of intellectual property and the valorisation of knowledge is highlighted as a key element for an improved business environment, in today’s council conclusions on the future of industrial policy. Much welcomed, and important for upcoming work.

Great article by someone I admire on this stuff Kartik Akileswaran, making the case of effective industrial policy being much more a process than a final product. The central arguments closely align with those of David Luke, Olawale OGUNKOLA and myself for our LSE white paper, which was based on interviews with SEZ operators, on: 'Sustainable Insutrialization in Africa: The Art of Upgrading Industrial Policymaking Itself' (see here: https://lnkd.in/eJb9TepD). https://lnkd.in/e_tiPcj3

Industrial Policy is making a comeback in many countries of the world, spurred by geo-strategic and national security considerations as well as to foster the green transition. Our new OECD paper summarizes some of the pros and cons of Industrial policy and discusses some of the challenges that policymakers are grappling with when designing their industrial policies (including on policy evaluation).
