Shaping economic policies: The 
role of entrepreneurs and firms 
International Alumni and Students Symposium 
October 29, 2014 
Helmut Asche 
U Mainz, formerly U Leipzig
Outline 
‡ Entrepreneurs in development economics: a short review of not 
very much 
‡ The 3 stages of state ± market, aka: government ± firm relations 
‡ End of stage 3: entrepreneurship in DCs still treated as a given 
‡ And: taking part in policy shaping not considered 
‡ Yet: arguably a core function of modern business 
‡ +RZWKHQFRQFHLYHHQWUHSUHQHXUVµUROHLQSROLWLFV 
‡ w/ ref to (a) institutions, (b) process, (c) content 
‡ 5HIWRFRQFHSWRIÄHPEHGGHGDXWRQRP³RIVWDWHEXUHDXFUDFZ 
I. opaque model of state ± private firm collusion 
II. theoretical model of perfect strategic dialogue 
III. practical hybrids, in-between. 
‡ Question: where to slot actual cases, incl those discussed here 
Helmut Asche, U Mainz, Oct 29 2014 2
Outline II 
Emerging consensus on New Industrial Policy (NIP) provides insights 
on process and contents of private sector inputs into policies and what 
firms get in return. On process: 
‡ Collective search of public authorities and firms for investment 
opportunities + obstacles to realise them (= market + state failures 
to be remedied) 
‡ Instead of top-down planning + governments Äpicking winners³ 
‡ Resulting in smart support for firms 
‡ Plus iterating policy cycles based on continuous ME 
On likely contents: 
1. Helping to identify most binding constraints for enterprise dev and 
economic growth, see decision-making tree: 
Helmut Asche, U Mainz 3
Growth Diagnostics (following Hausmann/Rodrik) 
Helmut Asche, U Mainz 4
Outline III 
2. General economic policy signalling by private sector 
(case: on optimal exchange rate) 
3. Strat. reasoning on sector policy + suitability for private sector 
4. Advice on specific inputs needed: inter-industry or public goods 
like tailor-made market information, research, training 
Most of the topics are Ätriple-S specific³VXE-)sectors, spaces, (firm) 
size matter. 
Helmut Asche, U Mainz 5
Outline IV 
Finally: constraints for private sector shaping of economic policies in 
developing countries? 
‡ Dearth of entrepreneurs and their capacity to fulfil second order 
tasks like policy shaping 
‡ Depending on firm-internal resources, and on degree of extra-firm 
organisation: role of business associations 
‡ Possible remedies for Äsmall 1³of entrepreneurs: e.g. involve 
foreign investors and diaspora in more targeted way 
‡ Also banks, if financial sector had not own problem of taking part in 
strategic dialogue 
Helmut Asche, U Mainz 6
Conclusion 
‡ Role of entrepreneurs and firm management in economic policy-shaping 
still largely underexplored 
‡ Same for related capacity building needs 
Hence looking very much forward to this symposium and its results! 
Thank you for listening.

From the Growth Commission, the Common 
Characteristics of High, Sustained Growth Include Both 
Essential Public and Private Sector Activities 
10 
Common 
Characteristics 
of High, 
Sustained 
Growth 
͞'ŽǀĞƌŶŵĞŶƚ 
provides the 
environment for 
growth, but it is 
the private sector 
that invests and 
creates wealth for 
ƚŚĞƉĞŽƉůĞ͘͟ 
(Quoted in the 
Growth 
Commission 
Report)
The Investment Climate Must Often Be Improved 
To Accompany Increased Private Sector Activity 
Important Investment Climate Areas 
‡ Stability and security ʹ including property rights, 
contract enforcement and reducing crime 
‡ Regulation and taxation ʹ including streamlining 
procedures, reducing barriers to entry and exit 
‡ Effective finance and infrastructure 
‡ Skilled and adaptive worker and labor markets 
11
But the Public Sector Cannot Act Alone: The 
Private Sector Drives Growth and Creates Jobs 
‡Drives growth via higher productivity and 
knowledge transfer 
‡Provides over 90 percent of jobs in developing 
countries 
‡Also helps improve public services 
‡And ultimately provides most of the tax 
revenues the public sector needs

Working Paper 4947, June 2009. Note: Chart shows rate of 
change in $2/day poverty for 92 countries based on earliest and 
latest household surveys available over 1980 to about 2005. 
Average years between surveys is 13.
͙And Recent Research Points to Characteristics 
for More Inclusive Growth 
‡ Greater equality of income, opportunities, assets, and 
access to services helps ability of poor to participate 
‡ Geographic and sectoral patterns of growth matter, e.g. 
growth where poor people live and sectors where they 
work 
‡ Successful growth usually means many poor people 
moving to places/sectors where there are jobs, often in 
urban settings. 
There is growing recognition that private businesses can 
play an important role in providing products, services and 
economic opportunities tailored to the poor

Economy Rankings. Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business, from 1 ʹ 189. 
A high ranking on the ease of doing business index means the regulatory environment is 
more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm. This index averages the 
country's percentile rankings on 10 topics, made up of a variety of indicators, giving equal 
weight to each topic. The rankings for all economies are benchmarked to June 2013.

Private Sector IFIs Address The Private Sector Gaps In 
These Difficult Environments By Providing Finance and 
Knowledge and Catalyzing Others 
‡ Providing finance to private companies that lack sufficient 
access to private capital 
‡ Providing related advisory products to bring in scarce 
knowledge 
± improve the investment climate 
± improve project performance and impact 
± facilitate privatization 
± enhance environmental, social and corporate governance effectiveness 
‡ Providing comfort in difficult environments to bring in other 
investors 
‡ Demonstrating the viability of private solutions in difficult or 
new areas

On process: ‡ Collective search of public authorities and firms for investment opportunities + obstacles to realise them (= market + state failures to be remedied) ‡ Instead of top-down planning + governments Äpicking winners³ ‡ Resulting in smart support for firms ‡ Plus iterating policy cycles based on continuous ME On likely contents: 1.

    ͙And Recent ResearchPoints to Characteristics for More Inclusive Growth ‡ Greater equality of income, opportunities, assets, and access to services helps ability of poor to participate ‡ Geographic and sectoral patterns of growth matter, e.g. growth where poor people live and sectors where they work ‡ Successful growth usually means many poor people moving to places/sectors where there are jobs, often in urban settings. There is growing recognition that private businesses can play an important role in providing products, services and economic opportunities tailored to the poor 14
