Synthesis and conclusions

This book has presented an analysis of capital accumulation in Latin America over the last decade. Although it only studied eight countries, together they account for 80% of the population and almost 90% of regional output. The analytical focus considered macroeconomic, sectoral and microeconomic factors, together with their effects on capital formation. This methodology enabled us to assess the impact of structural transformation, institutional change, market structure and firms’ strategies with regard to investment decisions. Sectoral analysis made it possible to identify resource allocation after the reforms and the strengths and weaknesses generated as a result.
