N2 - The paper aims at evaluating the additionality of innovation policy
in terms of innovative behaviours at the regional level.Innovation
behaviours are distinguished, depending on their occurrence within
and across the rms and the regional boundaries.The policy role with
respect to them is evaluated for a sample of rms in the Italian region
of Emilia-Romagna, by making use of an original, survey-based dataset,
to which a Propensity Score Matching approach is applied. Funded
rms are more likely to upgrade their competencies, when compared to
similar non subsidised companies. On the other hand, their innovation
cooperation with other business partners is not signi cantly a ected by
the policy, both within and outside the region, unless in the interaction
with particular partners. All in all, the investigated innovation policy in
the ER region seems to show more of what could be termed `cognitive
capacity additionality', rather than `network additionality'.
