| Summary: | The book is organized in two parts. The
first part looks at issues of long-term growth and
development patterns, and the second part focuses on issues
of macroeconomic vulnerability and its social effects.
Chapter 1, looks at the determinants of dynamic efficiency
in developing countries, which is seen as the result of two
basic processes. Chapter 2, looks at the same issue from a
slightly different angle: the combined effect of the
technological gap relative to developed countries and the
propensity to import. Chapter 3, takes as its starting point
the inverted-U pattern followed by the share of
manufacturing in total employment as a result of the process
of structural change generated by increases in per capita
income. Chapter 4, analyzes the social effects of structural
reforms. Chapter 5, considers the determinants of business
cycles. Chapter 6 explores a case of destabilization.
Chapter 7, discusses debt sustainability issues; and the
last chapter, deals with divergence and growth collapses,
and serves to tie together the issues analyzed in both parts
of the book. |
