Abstract
This special issue discusses the relative effectiveness of different channels of interaction between
public research organisations (PROs) and industry in driving specific types of benefits for researchers
and firms in Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica and Mexico). The empirical
evidence comes from original micro-data collected through similar questionnaires sent to the managers
of firms and PRO researchers in each country. The richness of this special issue results from its origin:
it emerges as a joint motivation to understand a key aspect of PRO–industry interactions through the
relationship between channels and benefits.
