In this paper we are dealing with technology policy problems which are raised by the provision of industry-specific public goods (ISPGs). ISPGs raise very difficult issues because they can neither be provided by the government (they are industry specific) nor by the firms (they are public goods). The issue is to determine some kinds of mechanisms to facilitate collective actions among rival firms. We thus develop a framework in which policy is viewed as providing tools allowing firms to create private institutions which can solve those problems posed by collective action. The “self-organized investment board” model (Romer, 1993) is presented and discussed in the first part of the paper and an evolutionary policy perspective is proposed and developed in the second part of the paper.
