“…More recently, innovation studies have also started to highlight interactions (Flanagan et al 2011;Guerzoni, Raiteri 2015;Nauwelaers et al 2009). These studies recognize the importance of interactions among instruments as central to dealing with policy mixes.…”

Abstract:Reaching a better understanding of the policies and politics of transitions presents a main agenda item in the emerging field of sustainability transitions. One important requirement for these transitions, such as the move towards a decarbonized energy system, is the redirection and acceleration of technological change, for which policies play a key role. Several studies of policies supporting environmental technological change have argued for the need to combine different policy instruments in so-called policy mixes. However, existing policy mix studies often fall short of reflecting the complexity and dynamics of actual policy mixes and the underlying politics of (re)designing them. In this paper we take a first step towards a more comprehensive, interdisciplinary policy mix concept for environmental technological change based on a review of the bodies of literature on innovation studies, environmental economics and policy analysis. The concept introduces a clear terminology and consists of the three building blocks elements, processes and characteristics, which can be delineated by several dimensions. Throughout the paper, we illustrate the concept using the example of the policy mix for fostering the transition of the German energy system to renewable power generation technologies. We argue that the proposed concept provides an integrating analytical framework for empirical studies analyzing the impact of the policy mix on environmental technological change and sustainability transitions more broadly. Finally, we derive policy implications and suggest avenues for future research.

“…Studies on industrial policy often depend on survey methods to improve the qualities of their iteration processes. Specifically, the survey methods evaluate the industrial policies on firm-level rather than on industry or macro levels [13,14]. For instance, Edler et al (2012) reported the results of a survey on 800 companies in the United Kingdom for industrial policy evaluation.…”

“…The survey included the suppliers of central government and local authorities in the English National Health System in 2010 [13]. To evaluate a public procurement system, Guerzoni (2015) sought to disentangle and compare the effects of innovation-oriented procurement, R&D tax credits and R&D subsidies, using a survey on 5238 companies with 20 employees or more [14]. The survey covered many sectors in the 27 member states of the European Union, plus Norway and Switzerland [14].…”

Although there are studies of construction industrialization with the focuses on drivers and barriers, government initiatives, and plans of actions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], there needs to be a distinct evaluation framework focusing on the phases, factors, and mechanism of growth management.…”

Abstract:The purpose of this research is to quantitatively evaluate the growth phase, position, and priorities of the industrialization policy management of the construction industry at firm level. The goal is to integrate quantitative dynamics into the policy-making process for sustainable policy development in future China. This research proposes an integrated framework, including growth management model and industrial policy evaluation method, to identify the challenges of construction industrialization and policy management. The research applies the mixed system method, which includes entropy method and average score method, to analyze the growth stage and major impact indexes targeting 327 survey samples. The empirical results show that the proposed conceptual framework and policy evaluation method could effectively determine the growth position and directions of the construction industrialization. For verification purpose, the study uses the local industry data from Shaanxi Province, China. The calculation results substantiate that the construction industry is in the middle section of the third growth phase. The comparison of the results from statistical methods shows that the local construction industry still needs substantial effort in policy management to improve its sustainable industrialization level. As countermeasures, the policy priorities should concentrate on: (1) enhancing effective cooperation among universities, research institutions and enterprises; (2) improving actions towards technology transfer into productivity; and (3) encouraging market acceptance of construction industrialization. This research complements the existing literature of policy evaluation of construction industrialization. Moreover, it provides theoretical and operational steps on industry policy evaluation and growth management framework, with accurate and ample data analysis on firm-level survey. Researchers and policy makers can use this research for further extensions of policy management for construction industrialization.

“…To support the uptake of novel technologies, scholars highlight the importance of demand side measures, among which public procurement is one key element (Edler and Georghiou, 2007;Guerzoni and Raiteri, 2014). Public procurement can also contribute to satisfying unsatisfied human needs and solving societal problems, such as climate change, if appropriate innovations are supported (Edquist and Zabala-Iturriagagoitia, 2012).…”
