Abstract

La producción científica puede ser un importante indicador del nivel de desarrollo de un país. El análisis bibliométrico comúnmente clasifica a las publicaciones de economistas de acuerdo a la cantidad, estructura por edades, género, coautoría, tema de importancia, metodologías, y patrones de citas, esto permite ver tendencias de cómo se comporta la ciencia económica en el tiempo. La evidencia para el caso chileno es escasa y desactualizada, así, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar las tendencias de publicaciones desde los años 1990 hasta mitad de 2021, identificar la participación por género en las autorías de las investigaciones y los principales temas publicados, en las revistas de economía Chilena. Los resultados muestran que diferentes cambios legislativos desde los años 2000 en Chile permitieron el desarrollo de fuentes de investigación en las universidades. Las publicaciones en economía tienden a ser individuales más que grupales, así como también la participación de la mujer durante los 31 años de análisis no supera el 30\%. Los temas abordados en las revistas chilenas son principalmente del debate económico local, así como también predomina la microeconomía y los métodos cuantitativos, sorpresivamente temas como historia económica o sistemas económicos son escasamente abordados durante el periodo analizado. Cómo están estructuradas las publicaciones pueden ayudar a la planificación del desarrollo académico del área económica. En el caso chileno, si bien las publicaciones han seguido tendencias internacionales, en participación de autores y contenidos, esto plantea desafíos para incrementar el debate teórico del campo económico, así como también la brecha de género en la participación en investigación.
