Abstract

Analizamos el diseño del Programa Ramón y Cajal para la incorporación de investigadores de calidad a centros de investigación españoles. Se conjetura como hipótesis de partida que el programa cambió su diseño tras las primeras convocatorias en respuesta a las necesidades de los agentes involucrados. Utilizando una base de datos formada por las aplicaciones de los candidatos, encontramos que el nuevo diseño del programa generó cambios significativos en la probabilidad de conseguir un contrato. En particular, las oportunidades de los candidatos sin vinculación previa con el sistema se igualaron a las de aquéllos que sí la tenían.
