Abstract

The Ibero-American Science and Technology for Development program (CYTED, as per its Spanish acronym) is a multilateral initiative that promotes and supports cooperation in research, development and innovation (R&D&I) in the Ibero-American region. A distributive “progressive” strategy (in financing as well as in the allocation of resources) should contribute to bridge the existing gap between the different innovation capacities in the Ibero-American countries. In order to verify this hypothesis we carried out a distributive analysis that reveals the insufficient aggregate progressiveness of the CYTED program (mainly due to the regressive participation of Latin American countries with medium to high innovation capacities). Therefore, we offer practical recommendations to improve this situation.
