Economic modelling to evaluate Smart Specialisation: an analysis on research and innovation targets in Southern Europe
We make the case for a technology-enabled approach to Smart Specialisation policy making aimed at increasing its effectiveness by assessing the general equilibrium effects of the European Cohesion policy objectives contained in the regional Operational Programmes prepared by the regional policy makers. We simulate the impact of achieving the R&D personnel targets on the GDP and its components in a set of Southern European regions. We discuss the implications and challenges of the proposed methodology for future assessments of Smart Specialisation and for its implementation in the regions of the European Union.
