Resumen

La econofísica y la termodinámica aún no han abordado la medición del rendimiento de la innovación. Este trabajo introduce un enfoque termodinámico basado en modelos de bombas de calor, y que se aplica para evaluar el rendimiento de los sistemas de innovación. Este modelo termodinámico puede ser utilizado para evaluar el desempeño de la innovación en niveles tales como el nacional, regional, sectorial, así como en contextos relacionados con las empresas. Este modelo se aplica en el caso de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. En particular, nos centramos en la dimensión regional, midiendo el desempeño en innovación de las regiones mexicanas entre 2010 y 2013. Nuestros resultados revelan que las conclusiones obtenidas con la aplicación de este enfoque para medir el rendimiento de la innovación son sólidas y estables en el tiempo.
