“…A positive relation between R&D, innovation, and productivity has been found for newly industrialized Asian countries, see Crespi and Zuniga (2012) for a review of the literature. These authors also illustrate how the Latin American evidence is much more mixed, which may result from the biased specialization of several of these countries in favor of industries featuring low domestic knowledge generation (Cimoli, Katz 2003). The development of knowledge-based economies and technological innovations within the Eastern European region has also led to mixed results, see Huggins and Strakova (2012) for the Balkan Peninsula, Svetlicic et al (2007) for several Central European countries, and Masso and Vather (2008) for Estonia.…”

“…Assuming that policy-makers in developing countries follow the lead of these international organizations, it becomes important to consider the contextspecific factors in developing country regions. In Latin America, such factors include the low propensity to undertake R&D activities in-house (Archibugi & Pietrobelli, 2003), the absence of linkages between firms and universities and weak local knowledge dissemination networks (Cimoli & Katz, 2002), and the withdrawal from engineering-intensive industries that results from specialization in resource-based sectors (Huang & Miozzo, 2004).…”

“…Anteriormente, en muchos trabajos se ha caracterizado el patrón de innovación de las empresas en los países latinoamericanos durante las últimas décadas (entre otros: Katz, 2001Katz, y 2007Cimoli y Katz, 2003;Chudnovsky, López y Pupato, 2006;Baer, 1970Baer, y 1972Teitel y Thoumi, 1987;Erber, Guimarães y Tavares Araújo Jr., 1974). En la mayoría de estos estudios se ha analizado una repercusión generalmente negativa de las reformas económicas de las décadas de 1980 y 1990 en la capacidad de innovación del sector manufacturero 3 .…”

“…ii) Cambios a nivel sectorial: se retrajeron algunas industrias 5 , se agregaron algunas nuevas a la matriz industrial y otras desaparecieron. Los productos básicos (industriales y basados en rrnn) ganaron mayor peso relativo (Cimoli y Katz, 2003;Ferraz, Kupfer e Iootty, 2004). iii) Aumento en la heterogeneidad y la concentración: algunas empresas, en su mayoría grandes firmas y filiales de multinacionales, aumentaron sustancialmente sus niveles de productividad e igualaron a las mejores prácticas internacionales por medio de inversiones en equipos y la implementación de cambios organizacionales (por ejemplo, mediante la incorporación de la automatización de procesos).…”
