    El presente trabajo analiza y muestra el comportamiento inequitativo del modelo de Aporte Fiscal Directo (AFD), en el área de investigación científica, que el gobierno chileno otorga a las universidades pertenecientes al Consejo de Rectores de las Universidades Chilenas. Se describe el impacto económico de las publicaciones científicas en el AFD y se determina un valor monetario aproximado de cada publicación, denominado Ingreso Marginal Total (IMT). Además, con el propósito de discutir las implicaciones del modelo AFD como incentivo o desincentivo a la investigación, se analizan los siguientes puntos: (i) el índice de desigualdad de distribución Gini, (ii) la relación entre el IMT y el ranking SCImago, y (iii) la relación entre el IMT la acreditación institucional en investigación. El análisis presentado puede ser de utilidad a las universidades, para, a) auto-control de las unidades, evaluando periódicamente su contribución a los índices de publicaciones, b) desarrollo de políticas de incentivos monetarios por publicación ISI/Scielo, y c) planificación de programas de apoyo a iniciativas científicas.

    The present work analyzes and shows the behavioral inequality of the Direct State Support (DSS), in the area of scientific research, that the Chilean government grants the universities that belong to the Council of Rectors of Chilean Universities. The economic impact of scientific publications on the DSS and an economic value for each publication, called Total Marginal Revenue (TMR) was determined. Also, in order to discuss the implications of the DSS model as an incentive to research activities, the following points are analyzed: (i) Gini distribution index of inequality; (ii) relationship between TMR and SCImago ranking; and (iii) relationship between TMR and institutional accreditation of research activities. The analyzes presented is useful to universities for the following actions: a) self control of academic units, periodically evaluating their contribution to publication impact; b) to develop university policy that incentivizes ISI and Scielo publications; and c) to plan programs to support research activities.
