“Modern innovation policy is rather more a matter of ‘choosing races and placing bets’ ” - A. Hughes
Investments incentives feature prominently as part of a group of measures aimed at fostering pollution abatement and renewable energy projects facing market or “systems configurations” failures. The objective of this activity is - by taking as reference a base case fiscal regime faced by a firm on two mutually exclusive potential projects – to see, where possible, how effective are alternative tax incentive regimes in order to guide private firm project choice, while at the same time maintain fiscal space and align private return objectives to social ones.

This session will have two parts. In the first one, we provide a framework for evaluating investment projects from alternative points of view (sponsor, society, stakeholders, the less well-off) and technical lense (financial, economic, distributive, fiscal, risk). In the second part of the session, we use this framework for assessing how effective are investment incentives in guiding private firm project choice, maintaining fiscal space and aligning private return objectives to social ones.
