Una via per tornare allo sviluppo: rendersi indispensabili nella rete
No full textL’articolo esamina le potenzialità di crescita dell’industria italiana, al fine di individuare una miglior destinazione delle risorse disponibili per la ricerca.
Il contributo ruota attorno a due temi centrali: in primo luogo, nell’attuale scenario economico internazionale, la produzione di beni e servizi di maggior valore è prioritaria rispetto alla necessità di abbattimento dei costi di produzione; in secondo luogo, considerato il crescente ruolo delle catene di fornitura nella produzione dei beni di contenuto tecnologicamente avanzato, lo sviluppo economico di un determinato territorio richiede la specializzazione in alcuni dei nodi della rete di fornitura più che non la presenza in tutte le sue fasi. Ne discende l’obiettivo di rendersi indispensabili in quegli anelli del processo di produzione che manifestano rilevanti prospettive di crescita.
Il concetto di indispensabilità, con le sue ripercussioni sul benessere, viene analizzato mediante appositi modelli teorici. Vengono poi predisposti indicatori economico-statistici in grado di cogliere l’idea di indispensabilità, e di misurarne il livello per vari settori dell’economia italiana. Sulla base dei risultati dell’analisi, si derivano le implicazioni di policy in relazione all’allocazione dei contributi pubblici alla ricerc

Metrics for driving political economy of energy and growth
No full textEnergy metrics is the development of a whole new theoretical framework for the conception and measurement of energy and economic performances, energy efficiency and productivity improvements with important political economy implications consistent with the best use of all natural and economic resources. The purpose of this research is to present some vital energy indicators based on magnitude and scale of energy weakness, GDP per barrel that is an indicator of energy productivity and barrels per capita that is an indicator of energy efficiency. Energy metrics can support policy maker to monitor energy system of countries in order to design effective strategy and political economy focused to increase the competitive advantage of countries in modern economies.Energy metrics, Energy productivity, Energy efficiency, Energy systems

Public Interventions Supporting Innovation in Small and Medium-Size Firms. Successes or Failures? A Probit Analysis
No full textThe aim of this work is to investigate the probability of success or failure of public interventions, made to support the development of some Italian firms. The great number of small and medium-size enterprises, placed in the Canavese area, north of Turin, Italy, has suffered, in the nineties, of a gap in technological innovation in their production. The Consortium for the Canavese Technological District (CCTD), a public local association established in 1993 specifically to support the firms of the area, has supplied them with some technological, innovative services, sustaining their growth. More exactly, some research centres, named Centres of Competence, were created, with the pre-existing structures of the Polytechnic of Turin and of the firm RTM (placed in Vico Canavese, Province of Turin): their targets were to supply innovative services to the local firms and to place technical machineries at the disposal of the local units, to support their innovation and competitiveness. The present research analyzes a central point: which has been the impact of these services? Which is the probability that a public o private intervention to innovate has success and brings economic growth to the involved firms? This objective is achieved with a Probit Model, built on a panel of 103 firms, that covers a 6-year range (from 1999 to 2004) and contains their balance-sheets data and the technical information regarding their collaborations with the Centres; the results highlight the role of a solid patrimonial stability, of the choice of the right innovations to apply to the production processes as well as the importance of a high previous technological status of the involved enterprises.Innovation probability, Public interventions, Firms growth, Qualitative choice models
