The decline of the labor income share in Mexico, 1990–2015
The paper studies the decline of the labor income share (LIS) in Mexico during the period 1990–2015. The decline is mostly explained by reductions within the economy’s major sectors (including manufacturing, tradables, and non-tradables) rather than by a recomposition of value added towards sectors with low labor shares. In contrast to agriculture—where LIS fell due to a shift of labor force from self-employment to wage-employment—in other major …
The Oxford Handbook of Latin American Economics
Latin America has been central to the main debates on development economics, ranging from the relationships between income inequality and economic growth, and the importance of geography versus institutions in development, to debates on the effects of trade, trade openness, and protection on growth and income distribution. Despite increasing interest in the region, there are few English language books on Latin American economics. This Handbook, o…
Learning, Technological Capabilities, and Structural Dynamics
This chapter discusses why this has occurred and compares the Latin American experience with that of other more successful catching up economies. Both economic history and economic theory generally acknowledge a deep relationship between technical change and economic development. The opening of the technological black box by the Schumpeterian literature produced new insights on how learning and technological capabilities co-evolve and why the tec…
Did New Deal and World War II Public Capital Investments Facilitate a »Big Push« in the American South?
The »big push« theory claims that publicly coordinated investment can break the cycle of poverty by helping developing economies overcome deficiencies in private incentives that prevent firms from adopting modern production techniques and achieving scale economies. Despite a flurry of research, however, scholars have offered scarce few real-world episodes that seem to fit the theoretical model. We argue that the postwar performance of the America…
Poverty reduction in Latin America: The role of demographic, social and economic factors
The recent socio-economic development of Latin America presents a puzzle. This is that while economic growth in the region in the past 25 years has been very slow, falling behind past performance and behind most of the rest of the world, poverty rates have continued to fall significantly and soginicial indicators have continued to improve. This paper assesses the role of various factors —income distribution, social spending and demographic change…
Unemployment and the real exchange rate in Latin America
Mexico’s market reforms in historical perspective
This paper examines Mexico’s main economic policies and problems during the last two centuries. Focusing on episodes of radical shifts in development strategy concerning the role of the market and the State, it argues that Mexico’s real obstacles to development have often been misperceived, and such misperception may be occurring today. This argument is tested, initially, by reviewing the causes of Mexico’s economic stagnation during most of the …

The Mexican Economy: Persistent Problems and New Policy Issues in the Aftermath of Market Reforms
Since the mid-1980s successive Mexican governments have made several attempts at macroeconomic stabilization and embarked on a path of structural reforms. Balance of payments liberalization and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) have closely integrated the economy with that of the United States, both in terms of trade and capital flows. Restrictions on foreign ownership have been largely eliminated, and foreign participation in the e…

Employment, structural adjustment and sustainable growth in Mexico
The impact of slow growth since the early 1980s on the Mexican labour market is analysed by comparing Mexico's employment performance to that of other OECD countries through three different components, that is, the labour force participation ratio, occupational structure and output per worker. The ‘old’ employment components of Mexico's development problem — low participation ratios and a high employment share of agriculture — have remained, to w…
Globalization and Progressive Economic Policy
The authors of this book challenge mainstream thinking about the nature of globalization. While not hostile to markets per se, they believe that capitalist market processes, left to operate freely, tend to generate injustice, insecurity, instability, and inefficiency. Taking account of the new realities of globalization, this volume explores an unusually wide range of subjects, including trade integration, multinational corporations, labor market…

Free Trade Area or Common Capital Market? Notes on Mexico-US Economic Integration and Current Nafta Negotiations
This Article addresses some of the key issues involved in understanding current trade negotiations between Mexico and the United States, as well as their significance for the process of economic integration in North America. These issues derive from the new setting produced by (a) Mexico's trade and investment liberalization in the 1980s, (b) the incentives which underlie the drive towards integration, as well as (c) those factors which will cond…
