Resumen

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es examinar el papel de la distancia económica sobre la colaboración científica entre instituciones universitarias del sur de Europa, usando para ello datos correspondientes a co-publicaciones para el periodo 2006-2010. Adicionalmente se explora el efecto de otras nociones de distancia señaladas en la literatura. Los resultados muestran que la distancia económica favorece la colaboración científica, en el marco de la hipótesis centro-periferia. La proximidad geográfica, cognitiva, institucional y social también actúan como factores que fomenta la colaboración científica. En cuanto a la proximidad organizativa, los datos no muestran resultados concluyentes.
