Bam, Wouter De Bruyne, Karolien Improving Industrial Policy Intervention: The Case of Steel in South Africa <p>We contribute to the lack of tools to support efficient industrial policy-making, especially in the mineral beneficiation policy literature. To address this vacuum, we adapt the product space analysis approach to incorporate an input-output value chain lens. This framework is applied to the case of steel in South Africa to derive novel insights regarding the (in)efficiency of implementing a downstream linkage-based beneficiation policy. Our dynamic analysis approach allows for interactions with the rest of the product space. We find that a ‘leap-frogging’ approach to development within the value chain may be more optimal than a strict beneficiation based industrial policy.</p> mineral beneficiation policy literature;product space analysis approach;Industrial Policy Intervention;South;linkage-based beneficiation policy;input-output value chain lens 2018-10-18
