      <description>Title: New industrial policy for more inclusive and sustainable growth
Authors: Bailey, David; De Propris, Lisa; Janger, Jürgen
Abstract: The policy brief synthesises key policy findings from Area 3. The over-riding goal is to foster the transition to a new growth path for Europe, with a dynamic manufacturing and services base, greater social inclusiveness, less unemployment and higher sustainability based on excellence in clean technologies. Embarking on a growth path that leverages current technological chances, that is ecologically compatible and that delivers greater and more shared prosperity requires a vision that is able to set long term, clear and transparent targets and to draw pathways to reach them. Businesses require certainty to take risks and create the jobs that societies and communities need to flourish and prosper. Economic growth, social inclusion and ecological ambitions are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but neither are they mutually supportive. In the New Industrial Policy that this brief presents, we see a real opportunity for developing a policy agenda that is capable of transforming some of the trade-offs into potential synergies, problems into solutions and constraints into advantages. Our research has encompassed five key questions: (a) How can we redefine competitiveness so as to encompass social and ecological objectives and to motivate a new industrial policy needed for technology shifts and inclusive, sustainable growth? (b) How do we realign innovation and industrial performance towards social and ecological objectives? (c) What is the impact of green innovation on growth, employment and social cohesion? (d) How can entrepreneurial dynamics drive smart and sustainable growth? (e) How can intangible assets and the quality of academic research act as drivers of change? This Policy Brief outlines the essential elements of the New Industrial Policy for Europe (NIPE) for a more smart, inclusive and sustainable growth.</description>

      <description>Title: Too much or not enough heterogeneity in Innovation Policies among EU Member States?
Authors: Veugelers, Reinhilde
Abstract: This contribution focuses on the heterogeneity in innovation capacity within Europe across its different Member States. Who are the leading and who are the lagging EU countries? Is there a trend towards convergence over time? And how has the crisis affected this trend of convergence? We then take a look at the research and innovation policies which the EU countries have in place and try to assess whether these policies match with the heterogeneous EU countries innovation capacity positions. We examine both the budgets allocated by EU Member States to R&amp;I as well as the various kinds of R&amp;I policy programmes being deployed. More particularly, we examine how heterogeneous the deployment of policy instruments is across EU member states and whether this matches with the heterogeneity in innovation capacity development among EU countries. Notwithstanding the large and increasing heterogeneity among EU countries in innovation capacity development, the evidence on innovation policies in EU countries shows a relative homogeneity of policy mixes in different countries. Current innovation policy mixes of instruments do not well reflect the countries levels of innovation capacity development.</description>

      <description>Title: Reaping the Benefits of Migration in an Ageing Europe
Authors: Crespo Cuaresma, Jesús; Huber, Peter; Raggl, Anna
Abstract: Unless labour force participation in Europe increases enormously in the coming decades, the current demographic dynamics will pose gigantic challenges to the sustainability of public finance. Migration (and thus migration policy) can thus be seen as a central topic which will remain on top of the policy agenda. The aim of this policy brief is to summarize the knowledge gained by the research efforts on this issue in the framework of WWWforEurope and to provide policymakers with new methods and research results which will allow them to better quantify the effects of policy changes.</description>

      <description>Title: Overcoming reform resistance and political implementation of large-scale welfare state reforms
Authors: Pitlik, Hans; Heinemann, Friedrich; Schweickert, Rainer
Abstract: Long-term beneficial welfare state reforms not only face opposition from powerful insiders and beneficiaries of the system in place. While potential losers from a policy change are often relatively easy to spot, ewll-designed reforms generate mostly diffuse gains, and the potential winners are much more difficult to identify. Moreover, gains from reforms regularly do not accrue immediately but only after a costly adjustment or a frictional re-organisation process. Policy change on a large scale hence occasionally triggers political resistance from politically vocal losers, but sometimes also from prospective winners. Overcoming both the 'rational' and ostensibly 'irrational' obstacles to policy change is thus a core challenge of political reform management. A key message is that important factors for successful change have found too little attention in the literature, compared to technical aspects of reform implementation In that respect, policy bundling and developing economic compensation strategies are important devices to mitigate opposition to reform, However, communication of reform goals, credible political commitment, conformity with fairness norms and moral beliefs, trust formation and social learning play important roles for acceptability of reforms in society.</description>
