Resumen

A lo largo de las dos últimas décadas, los países industrializados y en vías de desarrollo han llevado a cabo una intensa promoción de las actividades tecnológicas mediante distintos instrumentos de política. La financiación directa mediante subsidios a la investigación y desarrollo (I+D) y la introducción de incentivos fiscales a la I+D en el sistema impositivo han sido las prácticas más extendidas. Simultáneamente a la aplicación de estos programas de promoción de la ciencia y tecnología, surge la necesidad de estudios de evaluación para medir la efectividad de la intervención pública. Este trabajo revisa las experiencias llevadas a cabo en países de la OCDE y de América Latina, a la luz de la evolución de los distintos criterios de adicionalidad empleados para evaluar la efectividad de la política de innovación. Su contribución principal es incorporar a las revisiones ya existentes las conclusiones extraídas a partir de los trabajos basados en nuevos criterios de adicionalidad.
