GREGORIO, José De. El crecimiento económico de la América Latina. Del desencanto del siglo XX a los desafíos del XXI. El trimestre econ [online]. 2008, vol.75, n.297, pp.5-45. Epub 20-Nov-2020. ISSN 2448-718X.
Latin America has been dominated by growth expansions that, more often than not, have ended in crises and protracted periods of stagnation. This has led to poor growth performance during most of the past century. This paper reviews Latin American growth experiences and discusses some particular areas that help to explain why sustainable growth has been so elusive in the region. In particular, it discusses the role of openness and intraregional trade, the role of institutions, macroeconomic Stability and inequality, all factors that are central to resume and maintain growth. The paper also discusses more general issues related to growth, such as the importance of protecting property rights and having an adequate structure of rewards to effort, which includes equal opportunities. Finally, a brief over view on current macroeconomic developments is presented.
