Public Expenditure Review Science, Technology, and Innovation policies Regional Innovation Forum Bratislava, Slovakia innovation paradox and innovation policy dilemma The innovation policy paradox: The further away from the technological frontier the higher the dimensionality of issues to be addressed The innovation policy dilemma The further away from the technological frontier the weaker state capability for implementation Public Expenditure Review of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policies The Capabilities Escalator Public Expenditure Review of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policies Public expenditure reviews for STI Motivation Increasing evidence that National Systems of Innovation are fragmented, uncoordinated and with little evidence of impact Existing analysis and evaluations tend to be either too aggregated and institutional or too narrow focusing one program or instrument Can we respond to basic questions with greater certainty? How much is spent? For what? What is the quality and coherence of the policy mix? How efficient is this investment? With what results? Objectives To assess whether government’s allocation of resources has an impact on STI outcomes – through the quality and coherence of the policy mix; the quality of design, implementation and governance; its efficiency and its impact. To help countries improve their capacity and quality of their STI policies. This includes building governments’ capacity to design, implement and monitor STI policies and to rationalize their policy mix – measure, learn and adapt. Public Expenditure Review of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policies Methodology Logical framework of an STI intervention (Correa, 2014) Public Expenditure Review of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policies Amount transferred to beneficiaries for every US$ 1 spent on the administration of the program. Impact of STI policies on Innovation and technology adoption Four stages of the PER analysis Public Expenditure Review of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policies Differences with traditional PER Public Expenditure Review of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) policies How does a PER add value? Other reports do not provide a systematic framework to track public expenditures in R&I and measure its impact. The most comprehensive review of innovation policies are conducted by OECD but they do not provide detailed disaggregated data on public spending and its effect on the innovation spending The PER offers a systematic framework to organize public spending and track its impact on different aspects of the innovation system Public Expenditure Reviews (PER) would provide an analytical framework that opens the black box and analyzes public expenditure
