Traditional evaluations of public policy actions focus on the input and output side of the intervention (i.e. assume the so-called 'black box' approach), whereas the experience of public intervention also affects deeper changes of the recipient companies. Thus, a third dimension of additionality has been introduced to the evaluation theory and practice - the 'behavioural additionality'. It takes account of the difference in behaviour of a target population owing to a public intervention. Although the idea to evaluate how public policy interventions affect behaviour of the actors of the innovation system appears to be a very compelling line of inquiry for scholars and practitioners alike, it gives rise to many practical difficulties. This paper investigates how behavioural additionality is defined and measured as well as what are the empirical findings on behavioural additionality in the literature on evaluation of public policy instruments in the field of research, development and innovation (RDI), where this term has been coined. To this end, a quantitative systematic literature review has been conducted. Thirty-eight scientific papers which explicitly acknowledge assessing behavioural additionality in reference to RDI policy instruments, and represent original research papers in which behavioural additionality is approached empirically, have been analysed revealing the current state in the field and directions for further research. Seven different conceptualisations of the term have been identified which reflect a multidimensional nature of the concept. (original abstract)

Ewaluacja działań publicznych zwykle koncentruje się na wkładzie i wynikach danej interwencji (stosuje zatem podejście "czarnej skrzynki"); tymczasem doświadczenie interwencji publicznej wpływa także na głębsze zmiany przedsiębiorców będących jej beneficjentami. Stąd, do teorii i praktyki ewaluacyjnej wprowadzono trzeci wymiar dodatkowości interwencji publicznych - dodatkowość behawioralną (behavioural additionality). Uwzględnia ona zmiany w zachowaniu grupy docelowej zachodzące pod wpływem działania interwencji publicznej. Chociaż sama idea odkrywania mechanizmu zmiany, tj. jak instrumenty polityki publicznej wpływają na zachowania podmiotów systemu innowacji, wydaje się bardzo interesującym obszarem dociekań dla naukowców i praktyków, stanowi ona spore wyzwanie. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu wskazanie, jak dodatkowość behawioralna jest definiowana w odniesieniu do instrumentów polityki publicznej na rzecz badań, rozwoju i innowacji (BRI), gdzie ten termin został ukuty, jak można ją mierzyć i co mówią wyniki badań empirycznych w tej dziedzinie. Wykorzystano do tego metodę ilościowego systematycznego przeglądu literatury. Analizie poddano trzydzieści osiem opracowań naukowych, które wyraźnie deklarują badanie dodatkowości behawioralnej instrumentów polityki publicznej na rzecz BRI i stanowią oryginalne prace badawcze, w których dodatkowość behawioralna jest badana empirycznie. W ten sposób ustalono stan wiedzy w tej dziedzinie i kierunki dalszych badań, m.in. zidentyfikowano siedem różnych ujęć dodatkowości behawioralnej, które oddają wielowymiarowość badanego konceptu.
