The Paraguayan agro-export model of development
Income Distribution and the Enterprise for the Americas Initiative
The Issue of the Distribution of income is once again emerging as a critical component in the debates regarding Latin America's development path in the 1990s and as a factor underlying the proposed Enterprise of the Americas Initiative (EAI). I will argue that the degree of income inequality in the Latin American societies will prove to be an obvious, if unnoticed, obstacle to social progress which will affect the operation and outcome of the Ini…
The structure of income inequality in Puerto Rico
The growth and decline of import substitution in Brazil — revisited
Trade, Protection and Import Elasticities for Brazil
Quantitative models of import demand have revolved around numerical estimates of demand elasticities for a number of theoretical and practical reasons. Especially in Latin America, much of stimulus and direction of post war development is said to have originated out of reaction to the trade constraint
Linkages and Leakages
The study of export-led industrialization in an enclave economy comes at the juncture of two chains of long-standing controversies concerning developing areas. The first controversy grows out of observed difficulties of poor countries to industrialize from a current comparative advantage in primary commodities, despite buoyant earnings of foreign exchange. The second controversy turns inward, and looking away from trade policy, seeks the key to i…
Traversing the Social Pyramid
DUKE: Her madness hath the oddest frame of sense, Such a dependency of thing on thing, As e'er I heard in madness. ISABEL: O a gracious Duke, Harp not on that! nor do not banish reason For inequality, but let your reason serve To make the truth appear where it seems hid And hide the false seems true! Shakespeare, Measure for Measure The study of the distribution of income summarizes a nation's social organization and the outcome of the forces of …
Development and Trade Dependence
The transformation of Puerto Rico from a sugar-monoculture began in the early 1950's and by 1963 created a diversified manufacturing export economy. During these years, gross domestic product more than doubled, while gross investment and exports nearly quadrupled (Table 1). The magnitude of the industrialization, as seen in the rise of the industrial share of GDP by 50% and the decline of the agricultural share by about the same extent, resulted …
