Der Beitrag zeigt, wie mit Hilfe der Methode der agentenbasierten Modellierung und Simulation (ABMS) ein Beitrag zur ex-ante Policy-Beratung geleistet werden kann. Anhand eines exemplarischen Anwendungsfalls, der VISIBLE Simulationsumgebung ("Virtual Simulation Lab for the Analysis of Investments in Learning and Education"), diskutieren wir die Konsequenzen unterschiedlicher Kooperationsförderinstrumente für Wissensdiffusionsprozesse in Netzwerken am Beispiel der Region Heilbronn-Franken. Die Simulationsergebnisse zeigen, dass die strukturelle Konfiguration eines regionalen Innovationssystems eine zentrale Bedeutung für die Gestaltung von Kooperationsfördermaßnahmen hat und dass Interventionen, die darauf abzielen, Wissenstransfer zwischen den Akteuren anzuregen, genau die entgegengesetzten Wirkungen entfalten können.

This document considers the major aspects of ex ante evaluation of proposed RI investment projects, aimed at either building new RIs or upgrading existing ones. Evaluation is a systematic process of assessment of a policy tool, policy programme, an entire policy mix, including implementation and impact, or the operation and performance of an organisation. Ex ante evaluation is conducted prior to the implementation of a strategy, piece of legislation, programme or project, in our case an investment project aimed at building a new RI or upgrading an existing one. It is worth conducting an ex ante evaluation before making a final decision on whether to invest in building a new RI or upgrading an existing one, as it offers several benefits for various stakeholders, including RI policy-makers, managers, funding agencies, staff members, taxpayers, businesses and local authorities. The various ways of planning and organising an ex ante evaluation of an RI – internal vs. external; commissioning internal vs. external and domestic vs. foreign experts; bottom-up vs. top-down approaches – as well as their pros and cons, are considered in a separate section. There is no ex ante evaluation approach or method that fits all situations. This guiding document, therefore, does not advocate for the use of one method or another. Rather, it considers the advantages and disadvantages of the available methods and approaches, as well as the ways in which they can be applied. These methods are characterised in more detail in the Annex of this document, with the intention of assisting stakeholders in choosing their own tailored method for conducting an ex ante evaluation. Further references for each described method or approach are also provided. These methods and approaches can be applied on their own or in combination. Their selection and application should always be context specific, and made in accordance with the specificities of a given RI and its landscape.

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union will be implemented through national CAP strategic plans in the period 2023 to 2027. • Each CAP strategic plan is subjected to an ex-ante evaluation. • In this project, the ex-ante evaluation for the CAP strategic plan Austria was carried out. Recommendations for its improvement were elaborated.

In this paper, we use the panel of the first two waves of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey by the European Central Bank to study housing demand of European households and evaluate potential housing market regulations in the post-crisis era. We provide a comprehensive account of the housing decisions of European households between 2010 and 2014, and structurally estimate the housing preference of a simple life-cycle housing choice model. We then evaluate the effect of a tighter LTV/LTI regulation via counter-factual simulations. We find that those regulations limit homeownership and wealth accumulation, reduces housing consumption but may be welfare improving for the young households.

Normative interventions in the ICTs sector at the European level are in fact mainly driven by the idea that the impacts of advanced telecommunications technology adoptions are related both to their capacity to increase competitiveness and to their potential influence on regional disparities, enhancing growth rates and development of weaker and less developed regions. The result is that the well-known trade-off between efficiency and cohesion emerges quite evidently. In this paper, the aim is to provide an ex-ante evaluation of EU ICTs policies on regional development and regional disparities, through a scenario building methodology which allows to calculate the increase in per capita GDP at NUTS 2 level for all 15 EU member states according to efficiency or cohesion policy options. In particular, the aims are to provide a cost assessment of efficiency and cohesion ICTs policies and to detect different regional response to ICTs policies, by highlighting different behavioural attitudes and reacting capacities of regions in front of alternative ICTs policy scenarios.
