This article aims to measure both the economic and social value of Tecnocampus, a Science and Technology Park in its region of influence (Mataró city in the Maresme region of Catalonia, Spain). Our results show that the impact of Tecnocampus has a socioeconomic cost-benefit ratio of 2.39. Measuring the impact of this multifaceted centre requires a diverse approach. Although the methods used are not new, the combination of them presents a novel approach to measure the impact of an institution of this nature. We have measured the economic value with the Input-Output model, including the Social Accounting Matrix. On the other hand, for social value calculations, we have used cost-benefit analysis adding measurements of firm localisation to estimate externality effects. Our main results present an economic value of more than 0.054% of the Catalan GDP, whereas the employment impact represents almost 0.37% of total employment in the region. The total economic multiplier of Tecnocampus activity is estimated to be 1.89. Social value generates an additional 0.50 euros to the multiplier according with our analysis. This additional social value represents an increase of productivity estimated in 20 million euros of operational income for Catalan firms and the creation of seven additional firms in the Maresme region as a result of knowledge spillovers. The social value also includes reduction of over-education caused by a better matching between graduates and enterprises, a more direct application of research, and an increase in consumer surplus. Finally, we discuss the policy implications of our findings to promote investments in this kind of infrastructures.
本文旨在衡量科技园区Tecnocampus在其影响区域（西班牙加泰罗尼亚马雷斯梅地区的马塔罗市）的经济和社会价值。我们的结果表明，Tecnocampus的影响产生的社会经济成本效益比为2.39。衡量这个多层面中心的影响需要采用多样化的方法。虽然所使用的方法并非新方法，但它们的组合提供了一种衡量这类机构影响的新颖方法。我们使用投入产出模型（包括社会核算矩阵）来衡量经济价值。另一方面，对于社会价值计算，我们使用成本效益分析，并增加企业本地化测量以估计外部性影响。我们的主要结果显示，其经济价值超过加泰罗尼亚地区国内生产总值的0.054%，而就业影响占该地区总就业的近0.37%。Tecnocampus活动的总经济乘数估计为1.89。根据我们的分析，社会价值为该乘数额外增加了0.50欧元。这种额外的社会价值代表加泰罗尼亚企业运营收入估计增加2000万欧元的生产率提高，以及由于知识溢出效应在马雷斯梅地区额外创建了七家企业。社会价值还包括因毕业生与企业更好匹配、研究更直接应用以及消费者剩余增加而导致的过度教育减少。最后，我们讨论了研究结果对促进这类基础设施投资的政策影响。
