About the publication
An impact analysis and comparison tool
The purpose of CIM is to establish a number of minimum requirements and standards for the implementation of excellent econometric impact analyses of the innovation policy instruments of the Danish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Higher Education.
CIM focuses on how to set up a framework for a “standard” impact assessment procedure that makes it possible to conduct excellent impact assessments of research, innovation and industrial policy and compare the impacts of different policies. An excellent econometric impact analysis of innovation policy is defined as a performance measurement of an innovation policy instrument that has been implemented in accordance with the most recent and best econometric research methods, and accordingly has a research quality allowing publication of methods and results in the most respected international journals in the relevant fields.
