Where next for Latin America? The two faces of the new Latin American capitalism
In Latin America, “islands of modernity” associated with a new biological and digital paradigm in the exploitation of natural resources and the production of services and manufactures coexist with vast segments of the population mired in insecurity, poverty, stagnation and social exclusion. This structural dualism reflects a growing gap between a modern segment of society that emulates the behaviour patterns of developed nations and a segment tha…
Innovation, natural resource-based activities and growth in emerging economies
Many Latin American countries currently exhibit a pattern of production specialization heavily biased toward resource-based commodities and foodstuffs. In natural resource based activities production is highly dependent upon environmental and ecological forces. Companies processing the resource strongly depend upon specilaized subcontractors and equipment producing firms catering for their demand for location specific machinery and process engine…
Aprendiendo con el agro argentino
La reciente dinámica local e internacional amerita una reconsideración acerca de la visión tradicional de la agricultura como una actividad sencilla cuyo desempeño se asocia ineludiblemente con la favorable dotación de recursos naturales. En la actualidad, su explotación se sustenta en un complejo proceso tecno-productivo. Las producciones basadas en el uso de recursos naturales se encuentran condicionadas por el ambiente y mediadas por la tecnol…
Globalisation, Sustainability and the Role of Institutions
The importance of aquaculture in the fishery sector is increasing. The growth of aquaculture complements the stagnant growth of extractive fisheries. Many countries are now entering this emerging economic activity. This positive feature has some serious drawbacks when the country has no local institutions to ensure the environmental sustainability of aquaculture. The C hilean salmon farming industry has grown dramatically since the mid‐1980s to b…
Exit–entry, productivity growth and structural change in response to changes in macroeconomic policy
This article highlights the macro-to-micro interactions in Argentine industrial sector by examining the response of different manufacturing industries to changes in macroeconomic policies in the early 2000s. It is argued that as a result of the macroeconomic policy changes like the abandonment of currency board regime, i.e., the dollarization of the economy, the structure of industry underwent changes and so did the labour productivity and the co…
Structural change and domestic technological capabilities
This paper examines the role of structural change as a source of economic growth and institutional and technological change. With the creation of new activities in the economy, significant changes occur in institutions and in the way domestic production capabilities are organized, which alters the ultimate sources of growth in society. This is a complex process that involves ubiquitous externalities and new forms of clustering and direct interdep…
Sectoral regimes, productivity and international competitiveness
This article seeks to analyse some mesoeconomic and microeconomic aspects related with productivity and international competitiveness in the context of the new Latin American economic model. These aspects go a long way towards explaining why those variables have not evolved satisfactorily in the different countries and sectors of activity, and why a strictly macroeconomic reading prevents a proper understanding of the changes which are taking pla…
Structural Change and Labor Productivity Growth in Latin American Manufacturing Industries 1970–96
Structural changes and productivity in Latin American industry, 1970-1996
This article analyses the structural changes in Latin American industry, which speeded up in the 1990s with the consolidation in the region of the external openness programmes, the deregulation of many markets, and the privatization of major sectors of industrial activity which had previously been dominated by State enterprises. The branches of manufacturing which have turned in the best relative performances over the last twenty years are natura…
Aprendizaje tecnológico, desarrollo institucional y la microeconomía de la sustitución de importaciones
The ongoing history of a Chilean metal products and machinery firm
Processes of adjustm ent and restructuring of the production sectors to a new system of macroeconom ic incentives are slow, costly and more inefficient than conventional microeconomic theory would lead one to suppose. In this article, the authors explore the process of the restructuring of production of a Chilean metal products and machinery company and the way it gradually modified its operations from the 1970s onw ards, adapting them to new mac…
Changes In the industrial development of Latin America
Trade liberalization, deregulation of economic activity, the privatization of public-sector production units and much more careful management of the main macroeconomic aggregates are causing profound changes in the behaviour of the Latin American economies. A more competitive climate is gradually spreading through the countries of the region as companies, markets and institutions adapt to a new micro- and macroeconomic scene. This article analyse…

Health care markets
This article analyses the markets for health care-related goods and services. Particular attention is devoted to three of those markets: medical services, public and private hospital services, and pharmaceuticals. These three markets -which, taken together, account for between 70% and 80% of total health-care operating expenditures- have structures that are characterized by imperfect competition, marked externalities in terms of the consumption o…
National Systems of Innovation Supporting Technical Advance in Industry
As a result of its successful integration into world markets for foodstuffs and agricultural raw materials Argentina was, at the beginning of the present century, a relatively rich nation with a fast growing economy. From 1895 to 1914 the number of acres under cultivation increased from 5 to 25 million. Wheat and maize exports multiplied by 3- and 4-fold, respectively, and the local population expanded from 3.9 to 7.8 million, due to heavy immigr…
Market failure and technological policy
This article highlights the need to complement macroeconomic policies designed to secure stabilization, deregulation and greater openness with other macroeconomic and microeconomic measures aimed at revitalizing the growth and competitiveness of the countries of the region. At the national level, in terms of macroeconomic measures, it is necessary to increase domestic saving and channel it towards productive investments within the local context, …

The metalworking industry is passing through a phase of out-and-out transformation in the international scenario. The rapid development of Japanese production and its penetration into European and United States markets, the gradual consolidation of the position of several ‘newly industrializing countries’ (NIC) like Brazil, Korea or Taiwan as manufacturers and exporters of various products of the industry in question, the dramatic irruption of ro…
Estadios de desarrollo e industria químico - farmacéutica
La industria farmaceutica plantea un complejo conjunto de interrogantes al profesional de las ciencias sociales. Subyacen bajo su realidad cotidiana intrincados problemas economicos, quimico-farmacologicos, medicos, juridicos, etcetera, que resultan dificiles de identificar y ordenar a fin de comprender en su significado individual, en su interdependencia reciproca y en su incidencia uiltima sobre la sociedad. Casi como en ningun otro campo de la…

The objective of this thesis is to analyze the soybean production chain under the critical eye of the transformations that are taking place in the productive environment, with the entry of new actors, and how the dynamics of production financing and physical factors are transforming the environment.The theoretical approach of this thesis is based on the approach of food regimes, which seemingly reconfigured themselves, no longer based on a countr…
