Abstract: Abstract This article addresses the relationship between international research collaboration and the performance of researchers through the focus on a specific discipline, Economics, in a small developing country, Uruguay. We map the collaboration between Uruguayan economists and non-local researchers and analyze the correlation between these collaborations and scholars’ achievements, as reflected by the quality of the publications included in Scopus-Elsevier. Our results confirm the positive and significant association between research collaboration and research output. Findings suggest that researchers involved in international collaborations get a higher impact or quality of their research, but this result only holds when international collaborations involve researchers located in northern countries.
