Description
Pro-Internationalisation Policy in the European Union: The Challenge of Policy Efficiency and Coherence Post Lisbon (PI-PEC).
This research project prototypes pro-internationalisation policy using a streamlined and innovative combination design of top-down and bottom-up approaches.
Our approach employs questionnaires to policy makers who have designed past incentives towards internationalisation, and to firms that have used these same incentives.
The insights gained will be used to generate models to explain the behaviour of both managers and policy makers in their actions and to arrive at set of principles of action.
The goal of this research is to deepen scientific understanding of the mechanisms through which pro-internationalisation policy intervention operates, and through this, contribute to the design of more effective policy interventions and coherence between the European Member States, yielding performance benefits for firms and economic growth.
