Determining Industrial Policy in Current Conditions of Competition

Abstract

Industrial policy has recently seen a renewed interest at both the political and the theoretical level, and has been much debated. This paper argues that an important research issue to address now is what industrial policy should be implemented, namely what set of instruments are to be applied to specific regions and countries with different historical and socio-economic characteristics. It is particularly important to examine structural changes, such as production organisation on a global scale and industrial organisation in global value chains, sector specificities and the links between sectors, in order to provide more operational insights to policy-makers at the various levels of government.
