Structures, Endowments, and Institutions in the Economic History of Latin America
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the consequences of the paradigm shift in Latin American economic historiography from structuralism to the New Institutional Economics (NIE) and examined the latest long-range comparisons of productivity between the Latin American and U.S. economies, concluding that the relative economic stagnation of the past quarter century may not render structuralism entirely irrelevant.
