This paper analyzes some key ideas regarding regional innovation systems and market failures. This analysis highlights the importance of science, technology and innovation policies at the regional level. It is assumed that innovation processes are complex and nonlinear that drives and sustains...

System dynamics models have become an important tool to develop new theories in social sciences. This approach allows analysing science and technology policy within the structure where this process is carried out. The model developed in this research aims to evaluate the inclusion of an anchor...

There remain several unexplored questions in relation to the analysis of regional innovation systems (RISs). This is the case, for example, about the nature of some types of system failures that avoid developing innovations in regional economies. In this case, system failures may hinder the...

System dynamics (SD) models have become an important tool to develop new theories in social sciences. This approach allows analysing science, technology and innovation (STI) policy within the structure of the system where this process is carried out. In this regard, the main objective of this...
