Abstract

GENTILI, Martin. Comparative analysis of the technoeconomic structures of Argentina and Canada: An input-output approac. Desarro. soc. [online]. 2023, n.94, pp.191-234.  Epub May 31, 2023. ISSN 0120-3584.  https://doi.org/10.13043/dys.94.6.

The objective of this work is to conduct a comparative study of the system of techno-economic relations, specifically the incorporated R&D flows, that shape the innovative process in Argentina and Canada. The analysis encompasses both domestic and imported flows, utilizing Network Analysis to complement the construction of technoeconomic indicators. The key findings indicate that Canada has a higher degree of integration within its techno-economic system compared to Argentina. This finding is linked to Canada's greater absorption of R&D within its productive system, with a lower reliance on imported components. These structural differences correspond to divergent sectoral profiles of their respective techno-economic structures. In light of these findings, it is suggested that the presence of a dynamic "Science Based" sector alone cannot compensate for the absence of "Specialized Providers" within the domestic context, which serves as a pivotal driver for disseminating technical progress.

Keywords : Technological change; economic structure; endogenous development; research and development; developing countries; Argentina.
