Abstract

Knowledge has usually been included in neoclassical economic models as an exogenous factor to the production function and in the New Keynesian case it is included as a result of two factors indicated as more important such as the volume of investment and employment as elements. discrimination to achieve better wellness results. Modern currents speak of the importance of analyzing knowledge and its positioning within a productive system, in this work the Ecuadorian case is analyzed during the 2015-2019 period and contextualized within the Andean area using the World Bank's KAM approach and the interview to a panel of five thematic experts in different industries in Ecuador. The results of the triangulation between theoretical, empirical and practical references show that Ecuador had during the previous period of study a strong investment in social spending linked to the qualitative improvement of human resources, however, the degree of productive activity that includes knowledge as input and final product is still low, continuity of public policy is required to ensure that knowledge permeates all sectors of economic activity and improves productivity and performance levels.
