“…The contribution of IPAs is more pronounced in developing countries, where (a) investors may know less about the location and struggle to obtain good data (because of information asymmetries); (b) regulatory environments are more challenging (as reflected by poor ratings based on the World Bank Group's Doing Business indicators); and (c) cultural distance from the United States is greater Javorcik 2011, 2012). 7 IPAs can also bolster the quality of FDI that comes into their economies (Moran et al 2018), including knowledge-intensive FDI (Crescenzi, Di Cataldo, and Giua 2019b;Monge-González and Tacsir 2014). For example, research points to the essential role of the Costa Rican Investment Promotion Agency (CINDE) in attracting Intel in 1996 and this firm's overwhelmingly positive impact on the country's economic development (MIGA 2006a;Nelson 1999Nelson , 2000Nelson , 2005 2009; Spar 1998).…”

“…Lo anterior ha ocasionado que la escasa bibliografía disponible a la fecha haya optado por estudiar las políticas CTI sobre todo desde una perspectiva centrada en casos nacionales (ver López-Martínez y Hernández, 2014;Monge-González y Tacsir, 2014;Guerrero Chacón, 2020). Aunque ya se ha comenzado a avanzar sobre miradas más amplias, con base en la integración regional y la cooperación para el fortalecimiento del campo CTI en el Istmo (ver Calvo y Villarreal, 2012;Padilla, 2013;Casalet Ravenna y Buenrostro Mercado, 2014), los trabajos comparados se han dado a la tarea principal de realizar sistematizaciones institucionales de los SNI de la región (Padilla, R. and Gaudin, Y. and Rodríguez, 2012), por un lado, así como de innovar en términos metodológicos, recurriendo al emplazamiento de campo con el objetivo de recabar indicadores fiables en "tiempo real" que ayuden a superar las barreras correspondientes al desfase entre países, esto en cuanto al relevamiento y disponibilidad de los datos en materia CTI que no poseen ni las mismas redes iberoamericanas de indicadores (Padilla-Pérez y Gaudin, 2014) 1 .…”

El presente artículo pretende realizar un primer acercamiento al enfoque de evaluación presente en el contenido de las políticas científicas de América Central desde una perspectiva comparada y alternativa al tradicional análisis cienciométrico. Su objetivo general es analizar el enfoque de la evaluación presente en las políticas científicas de América Central para el periodo 1980-2020. Posee un doble alcance exploratorio y descriptivo, para lo que parte de una aproximación metodológica basada en el análisis de contenido de políticas públicas, a partir de la clasificación de evaluación en ciencia y tecnología desarrollada por Albornoz (2003), presentando los resultados de la propuesta con perspectiva comparada. Concluye la importancia de prestar una mayor atención a la dimensión declarativa (contenido) de las políticas científicas en el sentido de complementar y hasta mejorar las lecturas centradas en indicadores de desempeño en el área CTI. Los resultados se toman como pautas iniciales para la futura generación de hipótesis y el diálogo con literatura especializada sobre evaluación en políticas científicas.

“…With time, it became clear that the aim of public intervention should not be limited to maximizing FDI inflows, but also to attracting the kind of FDI that better contributes to diversifying the economy, gaining access to foreign knowledge, and providing highly-skilled jobs. Consequently, since the mid-1990s, a shift from quantity to quality emerged in the FDI policies of several Latin American countries, including Chile, and attracting R&D-related FDI became a more explicit policy priority (Lederman et al, 2014;Monge-González and Tacsir, 2014;Nelson, 2005).…”

Over the last decade we have witnessed an unprecedented growth in the number of crossborder R&D investments towards large emerging countries such as China and India. However, small middle-income countries have played a marginal role as recipients of R&D-related FDI despite increasing policy efforts. In particular, several Latin American countries have recently launched new policy programs with the aim of attracting this kind of investments, but it remains uncertain whether public incentives can be useful to compensate for other locational disadvantages. The case of Chile provides an interesting empirical setting to explore these issues because during the last decade its government has been increasingly promoting R&D-related FDI through new policy instruments. This article suggests that for national innovation systems to benefit from the attraction of internationally-mobile R&D it is critical for public policies to ensure that appropriate linkages are established with local actors that hold absorptive capacities. Equally important for a small emerging economy like Chile is to prioritize R&D-related FDI in strategic technology niches where the country can realistically attain critical mass.
