Dinámicas de métodos de investigación y su influencia en Neoinstitucionalismo.
Resumen
Se estudia el uso de métodos de investigación en el neoinstitucionalismo (NIS). El objetivo general es analizar los métodos de investigación más empleados en el NIS para proponer un modelo teórico-práctico. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura (RSL) utilizando la base de datos Scopus, con una muestra final de 37 artículos. Los resultados indican una preferencia por los enfoques cualitativos e interpretativos, los estudios de caso longitudinales y el análisis narrativo; asimismo, se identifica una tendencia hacia la optimización mediante algoritmos, métodos mixtos y análisis formal de texto (incrustación de palabras, modelado de tópicos) para estudios a gran escala. Se propone un modelo multinivel (macro-micro) que integra la riqueza interpretativa con el poder explicativo de los métodos computacionales.
