© 2016 EPFL
Dr. Emilio Raiteri, a postdoctoral researcher working with Prof. Gaétan de Rassenfosse, obtained an "EPFL Fellows’ postdoctoral fellowship" for a project entitled "Innovative Public Procurement as Innovation Policy".
This programme is co-funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie and aims to attract experienced researchers of any nationality to the EPFL, to provide them state-of-the art conditions for research, to develop their leadership potential and to position them for success as future research leaders through a research-intensive training.
Project description:
"Innovative Public Procurement as Innovation Policy".
The project aims to provide sound quantitative evidence on the importance of innovative public procurement in stimulating innovations that are valuable for firms as well as for society as a whole. The research design will combine data on public procurement contracts and patent data from off-line and on-line administrative sources and will use state-of-the-art econometric techniques. Results will help policy makers to tailor effective technology policies and to maximize the innovative return to public investment.
