This paper seeks to determine the factors which explain differing levels of innovation in Chile at the regional level. Data used in the study was obtained from the Tenth Inquiry into Innovation in Businesses 2016, published in 2018 by the National Institute of Statistics (INE). Binary logistic regressions (Logit) were developed for each region, identifying the specific explanatory factors which determine the greatest likelihood of innovation among local businesses. The study concludes that the heterogeneities detected call for an adjustment in public policies in accordance with regional dynamics, which should be understood as subnational spaces.

This paper analyzes public discourses of actors who participate in an institutionalized political conflict: the case of wage adjustment in Chilean public sector. Taking the historical and political trajectory of this conflict as framework, the evidence of 2010 (first year that negotiations were administrated by a center-right government rather than the center-left political coalition) and the year 2014 (when government declares evaluate the "institutionalization of collective negotiation for public sector") is specially illustrative because the diffusion of discourses and its expression in practices, institutions and administrative logics reflect a routinized mode of conflict management. The theoretical and methodological framework comes from critical discourse analysis. The selected case study is justified by the institutionalized nature of the conflict, the participation of actors from diverse fields (union, governmental, parliamentary) and relatively predictable political behavior, allowing to identify, organize and evaluate recurrent political strategies that serve as inputs for setting up stable political discourses over time. For this purpose, was made a systematization and analysis of press, complemented by a review of relevant documentation and interviews with union leaders who have participated in the public sector negotiation table.

There is a dearth of economic literature that has focused on immigrants in Chile and their entrepreneurship. This is despite evidence that suggests immigrants are proportionally more likely to engage in entrepreneurial activities than local inhabitants. The objective of this paper is to explore the factors that influence individual's to engage in entrepreneurial activities among immigrants from South America in Chile. A rare event logit model was used to assess the factors that are likely to impact on entrepreneurial decision making processes. Results indicate that: length of residence, legal status on entry into the country, educational level and previous entrepreneurial experience influence the likelihood of entrepreneurship.

This paper is concerned with the ownership structure of corporate debt from Chilean firms. Specifically, we examine the relation between specific firm factors and bank debt use for a sample of 168 listed Chilean firms between 1997 and 2008. More exactly, it is found that bank loans are related positively to growth opportunities, collaterals and the risk of the projects, and negatively related to firm size and the quality of projects. We find also that the positive incidence of growth opportunities becomes negative in large firms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
