Emigration and Economic Theory: Missing the Boat in Mexico and Ecuador
The impact of orthodox, free market reforms on emigration was contested by two schools of thought. Following the standard comparative advantage argument, the dominant school maintained that trade, capital, and labour market liberalization would serve as substitutes for emigration, especially as capital flows complemented abundant and ‘flexible’ labour endowments. Another school argued that liberalization would generate short‐run frictions, causin…
Economic narratives and international migration under liberalization: Lost in Translation
Whereas orthodox economists supported the liberalization of goods and capital markets in the current global era, they typically assumed away the need to liberalize labour markets at an international level. The unexpected rise and then persistence of international immigration indicated the shortcomings of the orthodox account in theory and practice. Various recurring and contradictory or unsupported narratives were developed to 'explain away' the …
Labour and Its Discontents: The Consequences of Orthodox Reform in Venezuela and Mexico
The negative impacts of orthodox liberalisation policies on labour in Venezuela and Mexico were representative of outcomes elsewhere in Latin America. Untheorised increases in precarious informal work, unemployment, and emigration as well as a growing breech between wages and productivity followed trade, capital, and labour market reforms and the prescribed macro stabilisation policies. Orthodox reforms in both countries paradoxically facilitated…

Cycling between vice and virtue: Assessing the informal sector's awkward role under neoliberal reform
The rise of informal labour activities in Latin America in the era of neoliberal reform has necessitated a revision of earlier accounts which argued that low-paying informal work resulted primarily from excessive government regulation of product and factor markets. Under market-oriented adjustment and stabilization policies that promoted trade and capital market reform; altered the relative prices of capital and labour; and fostered greater degre…
The Inter-American Development Bank's Assessment of Structural Adjustment: Questionable Theory and Pre-ordained Policy
In recent annual reports, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has analyzed the impact of the era of structural adjustment on the economy and society in Latin America. The reports are at odds in their analyses of the reform era's successes, as seen in reduced inflation and modest economic growth, as compared to its failures, as seen in rising poverty and income inequality, falling real wages and lower educational attainment. In spite of the …
The impact of structural adjustment and property rights conflicts on Nicaraguan Agrarian reform beneficiaries
Worker Self-Management and Work Incentives on Nicaraguan Agricultural Production Cooperatives: An Investigation of Relative Performance
During the Sandinista era Agrarian Reform in Nicaragua hundreds of collectively organized agricultural production cooperatives were created. While production and administrative scale economies were sought, internal incentive problems that typically afflict such enterprises could well have offset such advantages. After characterizing the internal factors which impact on work incentives in these cooperatives, empirical tests are designed to compare…
The Transition from External Constraint to Enterprise Autonomy on Nicaraguan Agricultural Production Co-Operatives
Before 1985 the Sandinista government in Nicaragua imposed severe constraints on the management and operation of collectively organized agricultural production co-operatives. Integral choices regarding leadership selection, land use, crop choice, surplus retention, marketing arrangements and property rights reflected the state's rather than co-operators' preferences and generated powerful disincentives for collective sector activity. In 1985, how…
