Abstract

Resumen: Existe amplio consenso en la teoría y práctica de la política económica en que el motor del crecimiento económico de largo plazo es la innovación productiva. Asimismo, las Naciones Unidas (UN Millenium Project, 2005) y el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD, 2001) ubican al progreso técnico y la innovación como factores fundamentales para el desarrollo humano. En este trabajo se presentan análisis, diagnósticos y propuestas preliminares de políticas en torno a la problemática de la innovación productiva en Argentina. En la primera sección se aborda el nivel macroeconómico de la innovación productiva, presentando las interrelaciones conceptuales entre ésta, el crecimiento y el desarrollo humano; y analizando empíricamente el desempeño agregado de la economía argentina en términos de innovación, productividad y balance tecnológico. En la segunda sección se aborda el nivel mesoeconómico o sectorial, en particular las relaciones entre innovación, complementariedades y el denominado “cuadrante ausente” en la estructura productiva argentina. En la tercera sección, de nivel microeconómico, se estudian las relaciones empíricas entre innovación, productividad, calidad de empleo y salarios en las empresas industriales argentinas. En la sección cuarta se analizan la estructura y problemáticas del sistema nacional de innovación. Finalmente, en la sección quinta se presentan conclusiones.
