¿La política y la administración afectan el desempeño de la innovación? Un análisis comparativo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El objetivo principal del documento es analizar los efectos de la política y la capacidad administrativa en el desempeño innovador de los países. La investigación examina comparativamente las posibles correlaciones entre democracia, competencia política, desigualdad de ingresos, capacidad burocrática y corrupción/transparencia con los resultados de innovación de los países. Las variables dependientes son tres indicadores de desempeño de los Índices Globales de Innovación (GII). Después de presentar la teoría y el análisis descriptivo de los datos sobre las variables de investigación, el documento ejecuta modelos de regresión multivariados para probar las hipótesis. El análisis empírico reforzó que las dimensiones política y administrativa son relevantes para comprender los logros de los sistemas nacionales de innovación. Sin embargo, la democracia, la calidad de la burocracia y la corrupción/transparencia no son factores influyentes en los resultados innovadores de los países como lo supondrían los supuestos normativos. Por el contrario, la competencia política y la desigualdad afectan considerablemente la forma en que las economías están innovando. En conclusión, el documento presentó hallazgos originales e interesantes que pusieron en perspectiva la afirmación de que existe un camino único o regla general para el crecimiento de la innovación. En consecuencia, las inferencias brindan información a académicos y partes interesadas, públicas y privadas, para mejorar los debates y las decisiones sobre las prioridades de las acciones gubernamentales en tiempos de formulación de políticas basadas en evidencia.
