CUEVAS REYES, Venancio et al. Analysis of financing networks from national agricultural innovation system in Mexico. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2016, vol.7, n.6, pp.1297-1309. ISSN 2007-0934.

The present study aimed to analyze financing networks between research institutions belonging to the national agricultural research system (SNIA) in Mexico. In 2014, 164 surveys were conducted to educational institutions (IES), public research centers (CPI) and private companies or research institutions (SP) conducting research activities in the field of agriculture in Mexico. Social networking methodology was used to analyze and characterize the financing network of SNIA institutions nationwide. Calculating indicators and identification of actors was performed with Ucinet v.6 and Key Player v.2 software. Networks analyzed have low density; 0.48% (IES) 0.75% (CPI) and 3% (SP) which implies that there is little relationship between government actors. The financing network from SNIA is supported mainly by public resources and has low participation of private investment. It is concluded that there is low density between the nodes in the system, so that the study of the financing network shows a low level of articulation and linkage of public and private actors involved in agricultural research in Mexico.
