Wyższa Szkoła Biznesu - National Louis University is considering tendering for a project financed by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PAED). The main aim of the project is to create a publication on the use of econometric modelling in the evaluation of public programmes, policies, strategies and regulations. The publication (book) must consist of 8 articles in Polish (minimum 25K characters each). The deadline for preparing those 8 papers - including their content edition - is June 3rd ,2019. The deadline for completing the entire book (proof-reading etc.) is July 10th, 2019. PAED (PARP) is supposed to select 8 papers out of 10 proposed in the tender.

I would be more than happy to arrange 2 more papers as different thematic examples of using microeconometric modelling in the evaluation of public policies (e.g. labour market, firm competitiveness, environment). I would want the authors to share their achievements in the field of the microeconometric evaluation of public policies (e.g. outcomes, methodological advantages and drawbacks, concepts to improve this research method, counterfactual analysis, etc.). What is more, the role of the micro-analysis for the procedure of calculating spill-over elasticities at the macro-level could be described.

Thus, I would like to find out if there are any experts conducting this type of microeconometric research in the EU who would be willing to write a text and be a part of the book. As I mentioned I need two more papers. The analysis of the impacts of the innovation-supporting policies would be especially welcome. However, any other thematic fields are also needed.

A book is targeted at a more general audience of policy makers and others. The technical/scientific language should not be exaggerated. Unfortunately, the book is supposed to be in Polish. However, we would bear the translation costs (from English into Polish). Moreover, there are no geographical constraints, hence, you are not obliged to write a paper on the Polish economy.
