In line with this trend, the European Union significantly increased its budgetary allocation for R&D. However, statistical data show a weak correlation between R&D expenditure and the acceleration of economic growth. Regional innovation policies display divergent returns according to different institutional conditions and policy choices. Grillo and Nanetti attempt to understand the reasons that lie behind differences in performance. Their results show that better performing innovation strategies require the following factors: clear choices of locally congruent smart specialization; strong capacity of public investment to stimulate additional private investment; clear distribution of responsibilities for decision-making and independence of policy implementation from political interference; and problem solving partnerships amongst innovators, universities, and governments that pre-exist the programmes. These factors point to a relationship between democracy (defined as openness of policy-making) and innovation (as technology-enabled growth) which is explored throughout this book. 410 0$aPalgrave Advances in Regional and Urban Economics,$x2662-642X 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aCorporate governance 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aUrban economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aInternational Economics 606 $aCorporate Governance 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aUrban Economics 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aCorporate governance. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 0$aUrban economics. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aInternational Economics. 615 24$aCorporate Governance. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aRegionalism. 615 24$aUrban Economics. 676 $a338/.064094 700 $aGrillo$b Francesco$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0219411 702 $aNanetti$b Raffaella Y$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254880203321 996 $aInnovation, Democracy and Efficiency$92089744 997 $aUNINA
