which span a broad range of economic activities in a disparate set of industries across different countries. 4. This section briefly explains

One of the most important implications of globalisation is that the comparative advantage of OECD nations is shifting away from traditional factors of production, such as land, labour and capital, towards knowledge-based economic activities.

Globalisation 5. Perhaps the most radical change in the economic landscape of the end of the 20th century has been the shift in economic activity away from a local or national sphere toward a much more international or global.

The measures of transnational economic activity which prove there has been a strongly positive trend toward greater global activity include:

and (5) shift into knowledge-based economic activities. 8. While some firms fell victim to the first strategy, many of the firms from OECD countries that have restructured successfully resorted to alternatives 2,

This alternative involves shifting economic activity out of traditional industries, where the high-cost countries of the OECD have lost their comparative advantage,

and into those knowledge-based industries where comparative advantage is compatible with both high wages and high levels of employment knowledge based economic activity.

Given the shift in comparative advantage towards more knowledge based economic activity, many scholars have predicted the demise of SMES.

But in fact, the share of economic activity accounted for by SMES has risen in most OECD countries.

This is consistent with economic theories of innovation and technical change where inputs to the innovative process are understood to be heterogeneous

Jacobs thus develops a theory about how a greater variety of industries within a geographic region promotes knowledge externalities, ultimately innovative, activity and economic growth. 14 50.

) WK1 16 because it maximises the ability of firms to appropriate economic value accruing from their investments in new knowledge,

) Results of a study by Feldman and Audretsch (1999) indicate that a region characterised by a diversity of firms engaged in complementary economic activities,

and knowledge developed for a particular application can have economic value in very different applications. As Glaeser et al. observed, intellectual breakthroughs must cross hallways and streets more easily than oceans and continents..

An emerging economics literature demonstrates that knowledge spillovers are constrained indeed geographically. Data constraints can be overcome to study the extent of knowledge spillovers

There is considerable evidence that the transnational economic activities of SMES have been increasing over time. Not only has the absolute value of foreign direct investment activities by small and medium-sized enterprises increased over time,

Rather than explaining the links between innovation and economic growth (Amable, Barré and Boyer, 1997), this new approach seeks to understand the heterogeneous innovation processes that bring about social change at the meso-social and micro-social levels.

Innovation driven growth in Regions The role of Smart specialisation.pdf

i) the underlying role of scientific, technological and economic specialisation in the development of comparative advantage and more broadly in driving economic growth;

Smart specialisation relies on an entrepreneurial process of discovery that can reveal domains of economic activity where a country

Structural change, not just the accumulation of capital, is a driver of economic growth. As such smart specialisation aims to accelerate structural change by encouraging the transformation of economic activities from a structural perspective.

It may in some cases mean modernising existing industries or enabling lagging sectors to improve their competitiveness through the adoption of ICTS,

and economic crisis, including the current euro debt crisis, the concept of smart specialisation has found an echo in the OECD discussions on New Industrial Policy, New Sources of Growth and New Approaches to Economic Challenges.

and has forced also OECD governments to look more closely at where economic value is created along global value chains,

but especially R&d and innovation investment policies can influence economic, scientific and technological specialisation of a region and consequently its productivity, competitiveness and economic growth path.

and are grounded in the classical economic theories of economic growth (e g. the theory of the division of labour by Adam smith) and notably trade specialisation.

Modern recent strands of economic thought from evolutionary economics to the economics of agglomeration are also visible in the smart specialisation concept, notably the issue of increasing returns to knowledge,

and neoclassical spatial economics (Krugman and Venables). Smart specialisation thus is very much an economic framework focussed on regions that aims to illustrate for the purpose of policy making how public policies, framework conditions,

but especially R&d and innovation investment policies can influence economic, scientific and technological specialisation within a regional policy framework and through this mechanism, productivity, competitiveness and economic growth.

or accelerate the transformation and modernisation of economic activities in clusters. There are also important synergies and complementarities between smart specialisation and cluster policy (e g. promotion of cross-sectoral collaboration and entrepreneurial processes and place-based interactions4 between actors and institutions)

Summary The idea or concept of smart specialisation is based on long standing economic theories and empirical evidence and mobilises well tested policy instruments.

in order to stimulate competitiveness, productivity and economic growth through entrepreneurial activities. Smart specialisation strategies can be viewed as a mix of modern industrial policy with innovation policies that emphasise a bottom-up approach (the entrepreneurial discovery),

The economics of R&d location (indivisibility, strong spatial clustering of innovation activities) makes regional responses to R&d globalisation naturally appropriate.

Governments should ensure mechanisms through which they exchange information with The current economic crisis and more recently the euro debt crisis, has increased pressure on OECD governments to tackle longstanding structural problems in their economies.

and comparative advantage Classical economic theory tells us that regions and countries will specialise in certain economic activities according to their factor endowments (land,

capital, human resources. Trade theory as elaborated by 19th century economist David Ricardo and expanded in the 20th century by Hekscher and Ohlin also tells us that countries tend to specialise in the production of goods where they have a comparative advantage.

Recent economic theories touching on specialisation and trade (e g new trade theory) tell us that other factors play a role in specialisation,
