Resources, Industrialization and Exports in Latin America - The Primary Input Content of Sustained Exports of Manufactures from Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela (Hardcover)

This book is a significant contribution to the study of development policies and emerging trade patterns. It is unique in its approach of analyzing the factor composition of manufactures that grew consistently over time based on detailed definitions of individual products and industries in the input-output tables used. The book is essential reading for those interested in industrialization and the pattern of trade, factor composition of trade from developing countries, on trade liberalization and on effects on employment and income distribution, and its trade and the structure of employment in developed countries. It will inform the current controversial debate on development, trade and production incentives -- and the impact of these on the developed countries also -- which recent Asian experience has reopened.
