Public Sector Productivity - Ronnie Downes and Sean Dougherty, OECDOECD Governance
This presentation was made by Ronnie Downes and Sean Dougherty, OECD, at the 38th Annual Meeting of OECD Senior Budget Officials held in Lisbon, Portugal, on 1-2 June 2017
Fiscal and monetary policy evolved significantly over the recent decades. Traditional Keynesian models are being challenged by new theories, including Modern Monetary Policy and Neo-Keyesian perspectives. In the context of public sector finance and financial management challenges that were created or accelerated during the covid crisis, and in consideration of rapidly changing demographic realities in most nations, a revision of the existing system is in order if our science is to be an effective tool for evaluating and planning public policy going forward.
Supply and demand are common terms and well understood in the general economics framework. However, my decades of practical experience led me to believe that these concepts are defined too narrowly for public sector applications. I believe this because socially, as opposed to economically, defined optimal conditions are influenced by socio-cultural influences that evolve over time, making the simple economic theory inapplicable or inappropriate.
Discussion based on Mankiw slides as amended by myself. The presentation is meant as the opening introduction to GDP measurement prior to a class discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of GDP as a meaningful measure of public policy efficacy.
Slides made from "A Guide to Social Return on Investment - Principle 2: Understanding What Changes" by the Social Value UK organization. This could also go in the Economics or Investor Relations categories.
Wu's text lacks slides. I've made slides for my lectures and include Chapters 3-6 in this set. I use Libreoffice so there may be some distortion in the layouts.
I developed this for a group of new PhD students with significant practice experience in public policy. It is based on my own experience with the transition and becoming a 'pracademic'.
A presentation developed for & presented at the Chiang Mai University School of Public Policy 10 October 2018. The slides were developed for a 7 minute presentation designed to propose some topics for the discussion sessions that followed.
After a general introduction, the slides describe the experience of using the MIT Sloan School Fishbanks simulation to illustrate common pool resource management challenges for Thai government officials. The exercise was conducted in class with a group of 30 Thai government officials seeking their MPA degree at Chiang Mai University. The Sloan School materials were translated and the lecture was presented in both English and Thai. Two Faculty of Political Science and Public Administration professors coached the teams during the simulation. The translated materials are available on request.

Innovation – What Is It?
• Innovation
– incremental and emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in
thinking, products, processes, or organizations.
– innovation, ideas applied successfully in practice Schumpeter (1934),
• Innovation translates brainpower into jobs and wealth.
• Limiting ‘innovation’ measurement to patents in a services,
knowledge economy is limiting.
• Innovation Index is our first attempt to generate an overall picture of
a region’s capacity to transform its economy in the global context –
especially in rural and other areas not usually thought to be
innovation centers
6. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 6
Innovation – A Portfolio Index Approach
• Innovative capacity, or inputs, can be combined with outputs to
create a single, composite index value. (ETCI 2005; Pro Inno Europe 2006; Porter
and Stern 1999; Atkinson and Correa 2007)
• Index variables used in previous analyses (Barkley et al. 2006; Drabenstott and
Henderson 2006; ETCI 2005; Pro Inno Europe 2006; Lee 2006; Atkinson and Correa 2007)
• Several additional variables were identified as theoretically
important and investigated for possible inclusion.
• The final list of variables was restricted to those for which county-
level data were available, or that could be developed on the county
level with relatively little imputation.
7. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 7
Variable Classification
• Human capital
• Economic dynamics
• Productivity and employment
• Economic well-being
• State context category
– composed of science and engineering graduates from state institutions per
1,000 residents of the state
– R+D spending per capita
8. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 8
Inputs - Human Capital
• Variables suggest the extent to which a county’s population and
labor force are able to engage in innovative activities.
• Educational attainment
• Growth in younger age brackets of the workforce (signifying
attractiveness to younger generations of workers)
• Number of innovation-related occupations and jobs relative to the
overall labor force.
9. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 9
Inputs - Economic Dynamics
• The economic dynamics sub-index measures local business
conditions and resources available to entrepreneurs and
businesses.
• R&D Investment
• Venture Capital Investment
• Broadband Density
• Churn – creative destruction rate
• Business Sizes
10. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 10
Outputs - Productivity and Employment
• Variables in this index suggest the extent to which local and
regional economies are moving up the value chain and attracting
workers seeking particular jobs.
• High-Tech Employment Share Growth
• Job Growth-to-Population Growth Ratio
• Patent Activity
• Gross Domestic Product
11. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 11
Outputs - Economic Well-Being
• Innovative economies improve economic well-being because
residents earn more and have a higher standard of living.
Decreasing poverty rates, increasing employment, in-migration of
new residents and improvements in personal income signal a more
desirable location to live and point to an increase in economic well-
being.
• Net Migration
• Compensation
12. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 12
Calculating the Indices
• Sub-indices for human capital, economic dynamics, productivity
and employment, and economic well-being calculated by summing
weighted ratios that divide the county-level metric by the U.S.-level
metric (Atkinson and Correa 2007; Pro Inno Europe 2006)
• The Portfolio Innovation Index (PII) combines the four sub-indices
– Each sub-index weighted relatively equally.
– Economic well-being has a less direct relationship to innovation activities, and
receives one-third the weight of the other three sub-indices.
13. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 13

14. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 14
Caveats
• Of potential concern may be the degree to which concepts or
measures are related conceptually and statistically. The research
team minimized correlations between factors of the PII by carefully
selecting data series, calculations and measures.
• The Europeans have noted that their own effort to create national
measures for innovation has been fraught with difficulties. For
example, using indices can result in a loss of variability and
explanatory power through the grouping of data. It also implies that
more data are always better. Finally, using all available data ignores
multicollinearity between variables and that some data are
redundant (Hollanders and van Cruysen 2008). The Portfolio
Innovation Index shares several of these flaws.
• .
15. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 15
PractitionerAccessibility
• In order to address the issue of potentially spurious grouping of
data and the loss of variability, a web-enabled database and tool
was created as a part of this research project.
• The database and tool allow a practitioner to see the effects a
particular measure (or data series) has on a county or region’s
overall index.
• As with all indices, however, the overall estimate is not as important
as the sum of its parts. Economic development practitioners not
only get a quick snapshot of how their region is doing in terms of
innovation with the portfolio index, but they also have the ability to
drill down into the highly granular data to gain a better
understanding about their region’s strengths and weaknesses.
16. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 16
Future Directions
• In the future, the state context could expand in scope to mimic
several of the state-level indicators reported by Atkinson and
Correa (2007)
– Export of high-tech goods
– Service exports
– Foreign direct investment flows
• Bureau of Economic Analysis
– Service flows reporting
• Empirically Based Innovation Index
– index innovative activities by identifying those specific factors with the greatest
influence on economic growth, while controlling for some non-innovation factors.
Interpreting this index is simpler than the portfolio approach because there is
only one output measure― economic growth
17. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 17
Future Directions
• Augmenting the set of innovation indicators
• Exploring whether some indicators such as establishment churn or
knowledge-based technology occupations should be broken down
further into their component parts
• Determining empirically which indicator has the greatest influence
on an output measure for innovation, such as growth in GDP per
worker
• Exploring the influence of county characteristics—e.g., size,
proximity to a metro area, broadband connectivity—on economic
growth or rates of entrepreneurship
• Updating the indexes to reflect more current data as it’s released
from the American Community Survey (all counties should be
covered by ACS data by 2010)
18. Economic Development Administration – 2009 – Page 18
Concluding Thoughts
• This index is, to the research team’s knowledge,
the first attempt to create a comprehensive
innovation measure at the county-level unit of
analysis in the United States, and the measure
is admittedly not perfect.
• Imperfections aside, this index presents a state-
of-the-art measure of county and regional
innovation performance and capacity. This index
can serve as a valuable tool for policymakers
and practitioners to quickly evaluate innovative
capacity and potential.
