Returns to research: a comparative group survey of national and international programs (with special reference to the PROCISUR program)
The document explains that PROCISUR is thus a program of scientific exchange between member countries. It supports observation travel, scientific consultancy, participation in scientific meetings and post-graduate training. It has also facilitated the exchange of genetic materials. Its role is primarily to enhance the national agricultural research programs in member countries in facilitating the spill-in of research contributions from other countries. It is not intended to be an independent research program. This spill-in enhancement effect on national programs will differ according to the relative strength of the national research programs in member countries. It adds that PROCISUR program was recently subject to an economic analysis. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative review of studies of returns to NARC, IARC and the PROCISUR program. Part I of the paper develops the conceptual issues inherent in these evaluations. Part II describes methods used in these studies. Part III reviews NARC studies. Part IV reviews the international studies. Part V provides a summary. (MIBA)
