... Typically, EU funds were tied to a commitment to enact strict reform policies. Pianta, Lucchese & Nascia (2021) describe the debate in Italy about whether to accept the conditions of the European Stability Mechanisms during the first period of the covid crisis and the risks it posed to parliamentary cohesion. But in July 2020, the European Council agreed on a common framework to support member states based on their economic need (using the extent of economic damage caused by Covid-19 as a criteria): Next-Generation EU (NGEU), worth a total of €750 billion (see . ...

... The European Commission, led by Ursula von der Leyne, in the European Communication to the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions (11 December 2019) presented a development strategy called the European Green Deal (EGD). Its goal is to transform the European Union into a climate-neutral area where a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy is to function [6][7][8][9]. The transition aims to significantly eliminate an amount of materials from value chains and production processes [10]. ...

... Extant scholarship has so far provided descriptive accounts of the emerging EU industrial policy (Ambroziak, 2017;Landesmann & Stöllinger, 2020;Pianta et al., 2020) and of sector-or mission-specific initiatives, e.g., in the automotive sector (Pichler et al., 2021), EU climate and energy policy (Prontera & Quitzow, 2022;Tagliapietra & Veugelers, 2020) or developmental banking (Mertens et al., 2021). To date, however, two key aspects behind the rise of EU industrial policy remain unexplored, namely the proximate causes behind the timing of EU industrial policy's rise in the mid-2010s and the variation in forms of integration of different industrial policy functions in the single market. ...

... The uc is the amount of money for tax obligations that can avoid through the allocations of profits and losses. Moreover, j1 is a coefficient for the rate of taxes [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43]. Then, author in [8] shows the case of the arm's length principle. ...

... proposes to identify three priority areas where public and private research and investment could be concentrated in order to develop a 'good' economy: environment and sustainability, knowledge and information and communication technologies, and health and welfare activities (Pianta et al., 2016). For the latter, as we argue in Pianta et al. (2019): ...

... Moreover, they are widely seen as key factors in the ability of European countries to return to growth after the 2008 crisis. The long-established debate on the relative importance of technological and cost factors in determining international economic performances -opened up among others by Fagerberg (1988) -has recently seen a new set of contributionsincluding Cimoli et al. (2009), Laursen and Meliciani (2010), Evangelista et al. (2015) and Dosi et al. (2015) that have empirically identified the key role played by technological factors at the micro, meso and macro level. ...

... Segarra-Blasco et al., 2008;D'Este et al., 2012D'Este et al., , 2014Heredia et al., 2018a;Pellegrino, 2018). However, as suggested by the innovation literature, the relationship between firm size and innovation is not linear (Dosi, 1982(Dosi, , 1988, and need a better understanding of how it performs, particularly in developing economies (Bogliacino et al., 2015;Geldes et al., 2017). ...

... In the model, we also include aggregate industry demand as a factor shaping growth opportunities. In several studies on the employment impact of technology, demand-proxied by value added and by its components-has emerged as a key driver [83][84][85][86][87]; in particular, an expanding demand at the industry level is a necessary condition for allowing the job creation effects of product innovation to emerge. ...

... Comprendere le modalità di radicamento e sviluppo della corruzione contribuisce ad arricchire una ricerca su tale fenomeno già avviata in precedenza (Saccoccia, Abéla, 2017), favorendo la sua valutazione in termini di danneggiamento sui sistemi economico e politico propri di due tra i Paesi maggiormente colpiti dal tracollo finanziario iniziato nel 2008 (Lucchese et al., 2016). Tale condizione di crisi economica è inoltre accompagnata dalla presenza di una ulteriore caratteristica: sia l'Italia, sia la Spagna, sono accomunate dalla presenza costante di bassi livelli di percezione della corruzione (Cpi), nonché differenti rispetto agli altri paesi dell'Unione Europea. ...

... Different policy interventions may affect each other in complex and often-unexpected ways has far-reaching implications for policymakers. Bogliacino et al. (2016) prove that without complementary investments, it will not be possible fully benefit from the advantages of information communication technologies (ICT) capital for productivity growth. Understanding national innovation system, we define regional policy. ...
