Mapping public support for innovation: A comparison of policy alignment in the UK and France
提出并检验了一个三维模型，用于比较不同时期和不同国家对企业创新的公共激励政策，并分析政策如何协调创新目标。基于1980年代至2002年法国和英国的149个政策项目数据，发现政策制定者通过不同的三维设计空间来协调多个目标，从而增强政策效果。
This paper proposes and tests a three-dimensional model of public support design as a framework to compare public incentives for innovation in firms through time and across countries, and consequently to compare forms of policy alignment of innovation objectives in an economy. Using data on 149 French and British policy programmes from the early 1980s to 2002, this paper shows that policy-makers implement programmes within a different three-dimensional design space in order to align several distinctive objectives and consequently strengthen the impact of governmental measures. Moreover, as the objectives of the national players and policy-makers evolved, the portfolio of innovation policies also evolved in their separate ways. Nevertheless, some similar trends are also observed.
