Abstract

Latin America has experienced a long-term process of clear divergence from developed countries. At the same time, it has been a dynamic region, in the sense that it has been growing at world averages and has shown standards of living that are, on average, clearly above those of the poorer regions of the world (Bértola and Ocampo 2012).
