El papel del capital humano en el desarrollo de la innovación para el caso de Ecuador mediante un modelo econométrico de series de tiempo, periodo 1980-2019.

In Ecuador, 0.44% of GDP is spent on innovation and development, which limits the capacity to generate new ideas, technologies and innovative products. In addition, the country currently ranks 104 out of 132 in the Global Innovation Index 2023, being one of the six countries with the worst results. In this sense, the general objective of this research is to determine the relationship between innovation and human capital in Ecuador during 1991-2019, using econometric and statistical techniques in order to recommend measures or alternative solutions. The variables innovation, human capital, gross domestic product, trade and government effectiveness were obtained based on official data, such as the World Bank (WB), Penn World Table (PWT), Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem); with a methodology using econometric techniques. According to the estimates, human capital is positively correlated with innovation in Ecuador. In addition, there is no short-term relationship between the variables used in the model. Also, there is a long-term relationship when the model is regressed to the fourth order, that is, human capital and government effectiveness are related in the long run with innovation, on the contrary occurs with gross domestic product and trade, which are not related in the long run with innovation. On the other hand, the existence of unidirectional causality between innovation, human capital, gross domestic product and trade is evident. In this context, it is recommended to create a legal framework to promote cooperation with business leaders, government representatives and academics and to provide incentives for joint research programs that promote innovation and skills development in the country.
