Abstract :
Natural resources based economies have followed diverging paths either by consolidating its raw material industries by improving its technological competitiveness or by falling in wasteful rent-seeking processes leading to stagnant situations. We explore the R&D evolution in the Forestry Industry by focusing on Chile´s and Finland´s case. By setting two datasets of 7,724 (Finland) and 1,207 (Chile) forestry publications covering the 1970-2006 period we analyze the trends followed by each R&D community regarding timing, institution, author and research areas patterns. We state that collaboration and multidisciplinarity are distinctive features of Finland´s R&D Forestry system, applied at a smaller scale by Chile´s.
