1. Introduction 1. Motivation
Motivation
Innovation nurturers structural change in economies and societies,and both lead to (economic) development (Syrquin, 1988; Cimoli andDosi, 1995; Verspagen, 2004; Hidalgo et al., 2007).
Innovation is disruptive (Schumpeter, 1911), and may havedistributional consequences (Aghion et al., 2015; Lee, 2011;OECD, 2015)
Economic growth and structural change tend to reduce poverty(Ravallion and Chen, 2003), but the extent depends on how income isdistributed (Bourguignon, 2003)
The concept of inclusive innovation is loose, with limitedunderstanding of how to achieve it (Chataway et al., 2014; Cozzensand Sutz, 2014)
We know little about how inclusion influences innovation and SC

1. Introduction 3. Available evidence
Relatively established [ Plot ]
Innovation & Structural Change
[INN ⇒ SC] emergence of new sectors, increases in productivity and firm size,capital intensity, entrepreneurship, and changes in consumption patterns
[SC ⇒ INN ] SC requires introduction of new technologies (Dosi G, 1997; Ruttan,2002); Firms cope with the disequilibria generated by SC (Lundvall, 1992)

1. Introduction 3. Available evidence
Relatively ambiguous [ Plot , Plot ]
Innovation & Inclusion [INN ⇒ INC?]
Innovation generates winners and losers (Schumpeter, 1911; Helpman et al., 2010):
(i) income distribution (ii) “frugal innovation” (iii) grass-roots (Paunov, 2013)
Innovation may increase inequality but also mobility (Aghion et al., 2015)
Structural Change & Inclusion [SC ⇒ INC?]
Imbalances that accompany structural change – e.g.: capital accumulation, factorscomposition, substitution of domestic for foreign labour/knowledge, skills :– ↑ income inequality in the short run (Kuznets, 1973; Ravallion, 2004),– ↓ poverty (McMillan and Rodrik, 2011; UNU-WIDER, 2012)

1. Introduction 3. Available evidence
Pretty much unknown[INC ⇒ INN?] Does inclusion influence innovation in the long run?
Some degree of oligopoly is required for firms to have an incentive andresources to innovate (Arrow, 1962; Malerba and Orsenigo, 1997)
Background of inventors (Akcigit et al., 2017; Aghion et al., 2017)
[INC ⇒ SC?] Which forms of inclusion scale up to structural change?
E.g. access to goods and finance (frugal)
Grass-roots innovation?

3. Main results
Main findings (under construction)
Only left hand side of virtuous cycle: INC ⇒ SC and INN, but theother reinforcing mechanism does not work (INN, SC ; INC)
Nor INN nor SC have a strong significant effect on INC
INN leads to SC (employment) and SC (other) leads to INN

Indicators
Main challenge
INN, SC, and INC, are multidimensional concepts
Measured (observed) variables highly correlated
Indicators
principal components to construct linear combinations Details
3-years rolling averages & all variables standardized
use first component to construct index scores
We loose significant detail, but we capture multiple dimensions of therelation between INN, SC, and INC.

5. Discussion
How are INN, SC, and INC related over time?
The main nurturer of SC and INN is inclusion (so far) Results
Virtual cycle between SC and INN (depending on different SC)
But neither feed back on INC [ Scenarios , Figure ]
Source: based on Ciarli et al. (2018)
Unpacking indicators of INN and INC suggest these relations are complexand depend on different aspects of INN and INC
Saha, Ciarli Innovation, Structural Change, & Inclusion CONCORDi19, Seville 21 / 24
5. Discussion
Policy implicationsSo far
The only variable that seems to reinforce inclusion is inclusion
If INC has a positive effect on INN and SC (which reinforce eachother) there seem to be two clear policy implications
I Improve INC, beyond poverty and inequalityI Make INN and SC more inclusive (they do not seem to be so now):
Inclusive Structural Change
More nuanced policy implications
Unpack indices to provide a better understanding of which aspect ofINN, and INC are most relevant
Current/Future agenda:
Unpack indicators and variables
Micro-level comparisons (employer-employee)
