DT 29/21 - Research networks and publications in Economics. Evidence from a small developing country
ISSN/ISBN: 1688-5090
This article
addresses the relationship between international research collaboration and the
performance of researchers through the focus on a specific discipline
-Economics- in a small developing country -Uruguay-. We map the collaboration
between Uruguayan economists and non-local researchers and analyze the
correlation between these collaborations and scholars’ achievements, as
reflected by the quality of the publications included in Scopus-Elsevier. Our
results confirm the positive and significant association between research
collaboration and research output. Researchers from a developing country
involved in international collaborations get a higher impact or quality of
their research, but this result holds only when international collaborations
involve researchers located in northern countries.
