The paper by Nicolai Goritz, Jonas von Pfister, Maria Proestou and Peter H. Feindt titled “Characterizing bioeconomy policy instruments: A global comparative analysis of bioeconomy strategies” analyzes policy instrument mixes of 78 governmental bioeconomy policy documents from 50 countries. The findings demonstrate that economic and nodal instruments with a focus on innovation, research and development dominate across the strategies. Additionally, it is shown that although instruments are frequently mentioned in the documents, detailed calibrations are rarely specified.
