MOCTEZUMA, Patricia; LOPEZ, Sergio  e  MUNGARAY, Alejandro. Innovation and Development: A Program to Stimulate Regional Innovation in Mexico. Prob. Des [online]. 2017, vol.48, n.191, pp.133-159. ISSN 0301-7036.

This paper evaluates the Innovation stimulus Program (PEI) in Mexico through its contribution to the Baja California Regional Innovation System (SRI) between 2009 and 2013. Using additional behavior methodologies, we analyzed the within-company effect and the network effect, as well as the degree of connectivity and number of interactions between stakeholders from the worlds of business, science, and government involved in the SRI. The results reveal that by making funding for innovative projects subject to connections between actors from the realms of business and science, the PEI is helping fortify the SRI by incentivizing 15% of its interactions.
