Development

The group's objective is to study development as a multidimensional, historical, and social process linked to people's capacities and freedoms. Democracy, education, innovative capability, productive sophistication, equality, and sustainability are essential development aspects.

Within this context, the group studies development from two main perspectives: from a territorial perspective, analyzing the long run process of local and regional development in Uruguay and Latin America; it studies various social, economic, and institutional factors as endogenous determinants that explain development processes; from a macroeconomic perspective, considering the systemic relations between Latin America and the rest of the world's regions. From this point of view, the relations between regions, their international relations, and productive internal structures are determining factors that limit development.

These two analytical perspectives are consolidated in four main lines of research: i) territorial development, ii) innovation, iii) public policies, and iv) sustainable development. Within these four lines, the group develops various research projects that investigate multiple topics like territorial growth and development indicators, Latin American innovation systems and networks, development trajectories and structural change, social capital, and social policies, and innovation and the transition to sustainable industries.
