论文摘要
在针对特定行业或技术的垂直支持政策的重新兴趣的背景下，我们研究了垂直与水平政策在经济发展组合模型中的影响。在我们提出的框架中，经济发展是通过获得新的能力来发展的，从而允许生产更多复杂性越来越多的产品。创新政策旨在扩大功能数量（垂直政策）或结合功能的能力（水平政策）。该模型表明，对于低收入国家，这两个政策是互补的。对于专门从事最复杂产品的高收入国家，关注水平政策只会获得最高的回报。我们根据当代关于垂直政策的辩论来反思模型。
Against the background of renewed interest in vertical support policies targeting specific industries or technologies, we investigate the effects of vertical vs. horizontal policies in a combinatorial model of economic development. In the framework we propose, an economy develops by acquiring new capabilities allowing for the production of an ever greater variety of products with an increasing complexity. Innovation policy can aim to expand the number of capabilities (vertical policy) or the ability to combine capabilities (horizontal policy). The model shows that for low-income countries, the two policies are complementary. For high-income countries that are specialised in the most complex products, focusing on horizontal policy only yields the highest returns. We reflect on the model results in the light of the contemporary debate on vertical policy.
