Economic growth in Argentina in the period 1900-30: some evidence from stock returns

This paper reports the first stage of a project to recover Argentine stock market data for the entire 20th century. The authors find that real rates of return on Argentine stocks and bonds after 1920 were above those in the Belle poque, and that they were consistent with the view that in the postwar period Argentina remained firmly integrated with international financial markets.

Argentina's capital gap puzzle

Argentinas GDP per working age person in 2003 was about the same as it was twenty years earlier and around fifteen percent below trend.

The effects of diversification are heterogeneous across firms: An additional foreign market matters more for firms exporting to fewer destinations.

This article brings new evidence to the debate over foreign participation by examining the lending patterns of domestic and foreign banks in Argentina and Mexico during the 1990s.
