Violence influences the productive activity of rural producers. One of the effects of violence is the disruption of the relationships between rural producers and the market, because violent actors attempt to control the interactions, the transportation, and the flow of products. In this study we investigate how rural producers interact with the mar...

Innovation can be a strategy for firms to achieve performance objectives. This specific use of innovation, particularly in technology, has aroused the interest of academics to understand the processes of introducing innovations to a company over time. This research aims to identify the most frequent innovation paths used by companies and their dete...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the differential impact each of the dominant theoretical explanations has on innovation persistence. The authors hereby differentiate the degree of novelty, distinguishing between innovation based on invention (new products for the international market) and those based on imitation or adoption process...

We evaluate the impact of public financial support, both subsidies and credit, on different types of innovation in Colombian industry. We compare it with the effects of financing innovation with own resources and with private loans, and analyze the issue of crowding-out, for different classes of innovation. To control for potential selection bias,...

Subjective insecurity is a key determinant of different forms of prosocial behavior. In Study 1, we used field experiments with farmers in Colombian villages exposed to different levels of violence to investigate how individual perceptions of insecurity affect cooperation, trust, reciprocity and altruism. To do so, we developed a cognitive-affectiv...

Based on empirical results, this article reopens the discussion about the relationship between intellectual property and innovation in developing countries. Intellectual property grants a monopoly over the commercial exploitation of innovations. Ex ante, this monopoly may promote innovation but ex post it may become a disincentive to diffusion and...

Subjective well-being (SWB), the evaluation that people carry out of their lives, has been proposed as an alternative measure of tracking the development of communities instead of economic growth. As part of a more general research question, in which we tested the impact of subjective insecurity on the choice of hybrid organizational modes, we hypo...

This article studies the strategies for visibility of some of the most outstanding publications from Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Colombia, and the relationship between open access and the visibility of these journals. By means of in-depth interviews with the editors, we explored their indexing and circulation strategies and exa...

We explore the effects of formal and informal links on innovation outcomes as well as their interaction with size and internal coordination capacity of the firm. The research also contributes to the debate about the effects of public and private links on innovation in SMEs and large firms. We use data for 4,820 firms in Colombia, and ZIP models, si...

El presente artículo se propone interpretar los cambios que en el curso de la posguerra han sufrido las participaciones de unos cuantos países y grupos de países en el comercio mundial desde la posguerra. Algunas de éstas se han mantenido relativamente estables; otras han experimentado variaciones abruptas, lo que plantea interrogantes acerca de tr...

Desde comienzos de la década de 1960, distintos analistas de las cuestiones económicas internacionales comenzaron a observar el relativo decaimiento de la economía norteamericana frente a sus competidoras del Asia (Japón, más precisamente) y de Europa Occidental. En el campo político,la decadencia -relativa también- de Estados Unidos frente a su ri...

During the past decade scientific public spaces have gradually narrowed, particularly those regarding scientific information. Scientific knowledge has been slowly retained in a corporative way. This article examines the historical analogy between the tragedies of the pre-modern village wastelands and the contemporary scientific global village waste...

This paper identifies some effects of the global trend towards stronger protection of intellectual property rights on developing countries, and traces related debates. Pharmaceutics, biodiversity and ethnic knowledge are critical areas of impact. ‘Trade-relating’ intellectual property might allow developing countries to be compensated, but incentiv...

This document develops an endogenous growth model in which it is possible to obtain a positive long run growth rate by combining investment in human capital and the endogenous advance of technological knowledge. The model shows the complementary characteristics of the two kinds of knowledge and implies the abandonment of the competitive equilibrium...

The purpose of this paper is to propose a characterization, different from the traditional ones, of developed and developing countries, in terms of science and technology. First, we identify the generating processes of the publication and patent series of the countries. Then we relate the development stages of the countries (Banze (2000)) with the...

A partir de la experienca de Colombia, Brasil y Bolivia, el artículo propone un marco de análisis general de esquemas de democracia participativa. El análisis está orientado a detectar los incentivos presentes en cada uno de los sistemas y la ética y el comportamiento que sostiene estas instituciones. Investiga además su sostenibilidad al enfrentar...

"Information and knowledge may be viewed as public goods when non-rivalry applies to their use (the use by one agent does not deplete what remains available for others) and it is highly costly to exclude others from its use. As a corollary, a piece of knowledge or a set of information may be viewed as global public goods when non-rivalry and non-ex...

According to the advocates of a "Generalized Darwinism" (GD), the three core Darwinian principles of variation, selection and retention (or inheritance) can be used as a general framework for the development of theories explaining evolutionary processes in the socio­economic domain. Even though these are originally biological terms, GD argues that...

Different problems of access to scientific knowledge by researchers from developing countries are surveyed. Obstacles are classified according to their source: those inherent to research processes in general and having special inhibitory effects on researchers from developing countries, and those related to the institutional framework and economic...

Knowledge accumulated for centuries by ethnic communities about their habitat is increasingly being used for commercial purposes in fields such as pharmacy and agriculture. Transnational corporations and research laboratories use knowledge obtained from the analysis of plants and other biological samples provided by ethnic communities, or from the...
