La productividad científica de economía y administración en Chile. un análisis comparativo

Abstract

The first part of this paper compares the volume and scientific productivity of Business Administration and Economics in Chile with the rest of scientific disciplines at the national and international levels. Given that scientific productivity is heterogeneous among different disciplines, the comparisons utilize an indicator that measures their impact relative to the world in the same field. The second part of the paper compares the amounts of public resources allocated to research in the different fields and discusses their relative efficiency in Chile. © 2007 Instituto de Economía, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
