Resumen
La intervención pública para apoyar la generación de conocimiento es reconocida como una estrategia fundamental que permite cerrar la brecha entre las economías recién llegadas y las precursoras. Se han realizado evaluaciones y estudios académicos sobre una amplia variedad de intervenciones y se expandió rápidamente lo que sabemos sobre estos instrumentos de políticas. Sin embargo, gran parte de la evidencia reporta resultados contradictorios y puede dar lugar a malentendidos sobre el potencial de estas intervenciones. Este artículo ofrece una revisión sistemática y una discusión crítica de lo que la literatura tiene que decir sobre la efectividad de estos instrumentos. Se argumenta que aprender sobre la efectividad de las intervenciones requiere la capacidad de captar e interpretar sus efectos. Específicamente, enfatiza dos factores críticos para comprender el potencial de estas políticas, que son su secuencia de ejecución y la dependencia del contexto de las intervenciones. Dado que ninguno de estos temas ha sido investigado en profundidad, se discuten algunos aspectos para orientar futuras evaluaciones.
