COMBA, Daniel Alberto; FERNANDEZ, Víctor Ramiro  and  ORMAECHEA, Emilia. Diseños y efectos de las políticas de innovación productiva a escala regional: el fontar en Santa Fe (2002-2012). Cienc. docencia tecnol. [online]. 2016, n.52, pp.1-36. ISSN 1851-1716.

The article analyzes the institutional design and effects of productive innovation policies implemented by the Argentinian government in the Province of Santa Fe in the period 2002-2012. In order to study the «design», the characteristics of the instruments, target population and their orientation are taken into account; whereas to consider the «effects», it is focused on the level distribution of benefits, the degree of geographical concentration, and the characteristics of the actors who actually have benefited. As a case study, it identifies the Argentine Technology Fund (fontar), and the analysis is focused on the period 2002-2012. The research results show that while the tools are demand-oriented instrument, with a design that conceives the population as homogeneous and have a competitive and horizontal distribution of benefits, they tend to concentrate on a few players with significant experience located in the economically more dynamic centers.

Keywords : Productive innovation policies; Policy design; Fontar.
