Así pues, se enfrenta un problema de acumulación que proviene de complicaciones en la definición de conceptos básicos. En este trabajo se comparan los usos del concepto grupo de interés analizando las ventajas, limitaciones e implicaciones empíricas de cada caso. Al final se propone identificar los elementos centrales de dicho concepto, lo que ayuda a solucionar el problema de acumulación.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The concept interest group is used to make reference to a wide set of actors, which inhibits the comparison of results among studies. Therefore, these studies face a problem of accumulation which derives from definitional problems of its core concepts. This text compares the different uses of the concept interest group, it analyses the advantages, limitations and empirical implications of each use of the term. Finally, it intends to identify the core elements of the concept interest group that could help to confront the problem of accumulation.]]></p></abstract>
