Linee guida per un'efficace politica di attrazione degli investimenti esteri

ECONOMIA E POLITICA INDUSTRIALE

Fascicolo: 1 / 2012

The increasing competition between governments to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) can be attributed to their prominent role in promoting knowledge-sharing, innovation and growth. The fact that Italy has always been a laggard in such initiatives has further blemished the country’s attractiveness to foreign investors. Based on the past experience of other nations and on the conceptual models advanced in the latest international literature, the paper suggests a design framework for general guidelines that may be of use to policymakers in formulating an effective policy to encourage FDI. The framework combines principles based on the country-specific competitive advantages and opportunities generated by international investments. Specifically, the paper identifies several policy measures and discusses their optimal mix with reference to the case of Italy.

Il presente lavoro si colloca nell’ambito del filone di studi sulle determinanti dei pattern localizzativi delle attività innovative con un duplice obiettivo. In primo luogo, analizza la distribuzione regionale delle attività innovative intraprese dalle grandi imprese multinazionali (IMN) nell’ultimo trentennio in Europa. Successivamente, il lavoro avanza e sottopone a verifica statistica l’ipotesi che le imprese di proprietà estera seguono percorsi localizzativi significativamente differenti rispetto alle imprese domestiche, essendo attratte da fattori di attrattività specifici di ciascun contesto regionale. I risultati dell’analisi econometrica, condotta su 77 regioni europee nel periodo 1969-1995, confermano difatti che le imprese multinazionali estere risultano sensibilmente attratte dagli spillover connessi con il sistema educativo, le attività di R&S dei centri pubblici e delle Università, una base tecnologica diversificata, la specializzazione regionale in tecnologie di tipo general purpose.
