The Persistence of (Subnational) Fortune
Using newly collected subnational data, this article establishes the within‐country persistence of economic activity in the New World over the last half millennium, a period including the trauma of European colonisation, the drastic reduction of native populations and the imposition of potentially growth inhibiting institutions. High pre‐colonial density areas tend to be denser today due to locational fundamentals and agglomeration effects: colon…

Releasing Constraints to Growth or Pushing on a String? Policies and Performance of Mexican Micro-Firms
Using firm-level data from Mexico, this paper investigates the firm characteristics associated with participation in credit markets, access to training, tax payments and membership in business associations. We find that firms which participate in these institutions exhibit significantly higher profits. Moreover, firms that borrow from formal or informal sources and those that pay taxes are significantly more likely to stay in business but firms t…

Towards an efficient innovation policy in Latin America
Innovation has emerged as a central theme on the growth agenda of Latin America. This paper examines four issues. First, how can we know if Latin America really has an "innovation problem" that is behind its weak total factor productivity performance? Second, what do we mean by innovation and what are dimensions of it in which the region exhibits weaknesses? Third, what does recent experience and literature suggest for principles and broad policy…

Does Informality Imply Segmentation in Urban Labor Markets? Evidence from Sectoral Transitions in Mexico
This article offers an alternative to the traditional dualistic view of the relationship between formal and informal labor markets. For many workers inefficiencies in formal sector protections and low levels of labor productivity may make informal sector employment a desirable alternative to formal sector employment. The analysis offers the first study of worker transitions between sectors using detailed panel data from Mexico and finds little ev…

Productivity Improvement

A framework for analyzing fhe influence of each of these forces on four major labor related determinants of construction productivity is presented. Approaches to productivity improvement are anal…
