Resumen

El objetivo es determinar cómo la concentración del mercado afecta a la decisión
de las empresas de innovar. Con datos a nivel de empresa del censo económico
2010 del Ecuador, se calcula un modelo probabilístico y lineal con corrección del
sesgo de selección. Existe una baja capacidad de innovación de las empresas
ecuatorianas y una persistencia en la concentración del mercado. Las estimaciones
confirman la teoría del poder de mercado en la propensión a innovar para ambos
modelos. Por consiguiente, el aumento de la cuota de mercado conduce a un
aumento de la probabilidad de innovación, gracias a la capacidad de explotar
los beneficios de estos procesos.
