In Latin America, “islands of modernity” associated with a new biological and digital paradigm in the exploitation of natural resources and the production of services and manufactures coexist with vast segments of the population mired in insecurity, poverty, stagnation and social exclusion. This structural dualism reflects a growing gap between a modern segment of society that emulates the behaviour patterns of developed nations and a segment that lags behind, in which labour informality, basic material deprivations and rising citizen insecurity predominate. The lack of an appropriate theory o…

How economic growth can be improved is a question that has always divided researchers, but it is one of the utmost importance, bearing directly on prosperity, quality of life and human well-being. The research presented here is an experimental review whose purpose is to evaluate the causal effects that the erosion of economic freedom has had on the economic growth rate, corruption, democracy, the transparency of laws, media censorship and judicial constraints in 19 Latin American countries during the twenty-first century. The results show that for each percentage point erosion of economic free…
This paper analyses the economic and social impact of a State aid programme designed to incentivize the development of the border provinces of the Dominican Republic. The intervention method chosen was based on tax exemptions, creating a possible tension between the objective of territorial cohesion and that of upholding market competition. In the competition sphere, the study analyses whether the law had the effect of increasing the market power of beneficiary companies. In the social sphere, it establishes a criterion of regional similarity and compares the evolution of the border provinces …
This article analyses Raúl Prebisch’s earliest activities while still a young student at the University of Buenos Aires, between 1918 and 1922. One of these activities was the translation of texts by foreign economists for the university’s Revista de Ciencias Económicas, contributing to the dissemination of ideas in Argentina. We analyse Prebisch’s 1919 translation of Adolph Wagner and find indications that he modified the text, firstly by selecting for translation excerpts critical of the idea that free trade was automatically beneficial to all nations, secondly by omitting Wagner’s defence o…
En América Latina existen “islas de modernidad” asociadas a un nuevo paradigma biológico y digital en la explotación de recursos naturales, la producción de servicios y la industria manufacturera, que coexisten con vastos segmentos de la población
sumidos en la precariedad, la pobreza, el estancamiento y la exclusión social. Esta dualidad estructural refleja una creciente brecha entre un segmento moderno de la sociedad que imita patrones de comportamiento de los países desarrollados, y otro que ha quedado atrás y en el que predominan la informalidad laboral, las carencias materiales básicas y …

experimental para evaluar el efecto causal del deterioro de la libertad económica en el crecimiento económico, la corrupción, la democracia, la transparencia de las leyes, la censura a los medios de comunicación y las restricciones judiciales en 19 países de
América Latina durante el siglo XXI. Cada punto porcentual de reducción de libertad económica reduc…
