内容説明

This book compares the successes and failures of the development and growth processes of Argentina and Brazil. It provides important insights into the different performances of these economies through a series of comparative essays written by Argentinian and Brazilian economists. In the last 60 years Argentina and Brazil have both undergone a dramatic process of urbanization and industrialization. While there are similarities between the two, each country has dealt with the side effects in a different manner. In this insightful book, Argentinean and Brazilian economists expertly analyze their country's experiences with processes of industrialization, the performance of the agricultural and service sectors, the impact of foreign investments, the distribution of income, the roles of the state and the privatization experience, and inflationary and stabilization experiences. The contrast of the two emerging countries addressing these challenges will offer students, economists and other social scientists significant new insights into the economic development process. Many of the articles will also appeal to individuals in multinational corporations and banks that have to deal with emerging market economies. Contributors include: H. Aguirre, E. Amann, D.G. Arce, C.R. Azzoni, C.J. Caetano Bacha, W. Baer, A.R. Barros, R. Bebczuk, C. Ciappa, D. Coes, A. Elizagaray, A. Figueroa, D.I. Fleischer, M.A.R. da Fonseca, A. Gallo, E.M. Greco, J.J.M Guilhoto, G. Hewings, D. Heymann, R. Hoffmann, A. Horowitz, B. Kosacoff, A. Lopez, J.L. Love, S. Petralia, D. Petrecolla, A.C. Pinheiro, A. Porto, A. Ramos, C.A. Romero, S.D. Silber, W. Sosa-Escudero, A. Villela
