Abstract

As a Convergence Objective Autonomous Community of the European Union, Andalusia was a beneficiary of the significant volume of European resources for regional innovation mobilised by the 2007-2013 Technological Fund and the 2014-2020 Smart Growth programme. The Andalusian productive fabric is mostly made up of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). For this reason, we evaluate the impact of the ERDF-Innterconecta programme financed through the previous operational programmes on the main indicators of business growth. The proposed analysis seeks to identify whether there has been an impact for Andalusian companies that have participated in the subsidised projects on three indicators (income, GVA, number of employees), further differentiating these companies by size, participation in innovation and role taken in the funded projects. This impact varies according to the characteristics of the companies.
Como Comunidad Autónoma Objetivo Convergencia de la Unión Europea, Andalucía fue beneficiaria del importante volumen de recursos europeos para innovación regional movilizados por el Fondo Tecnológico 2007-2013 y por el programa de Crecimiento Inteligente 2014-2020. El tejido productivo andaluz está conformado en su mayoría por Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas (Pymes). Por este motivo evaluamos el impacto del programa FEDER-Innterconecta financiado a través de los anteriores programas operativos en los principales indicadores de crecimiento de las empresas. El análisis propuesto trata de identificar si ha habido repercusión para las empresas andaluzas que han participado en los proyectos subvencionados en tres indicadores (ingresos, VAB, número de empleados), diferenciando además a estas empresas por tamaño, participación en la innovación y rol tomado en los proyectos financiados. Ese impacto se muestra desigual en función de las características de las empresas.
