From State-Led Inward Oriented Industrialization To Natural Resource Based Growth: New Conceptual and Policy Issues Now Confronting Latin America.

The first one, the neoclassical equilibrium growth agenda, was started by R.Solow in the 1950s and further developed by R.Barro and Salas I Martin, P.Aghion and many others.
The second one, based on Schumpeter and evolutionary economics, has been developed by R.Nelson, G.Dosi, C.Freeman and others. Large conceptual differences prevail mong them concerning what economic growth is all about. The first agenda comes from Newtonian physics, the second one from Darwinian natural selection. Both have little to say when looking at natural resource based growth, a central topic in Latin America today. Environmental sustainability and social inclusiveness demand a conceptual framework and public policies which both agendas have not so far illuminated.
MAJOR TOPICS IN WHICH, FROM A LATIN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE, REVEIVED THEORY HAS NOT SO FAR ADEQUATELY EXPLORED.
1. Impact of macro management upon the structure and growth of the economy. -Mundell-Fleming (coming from Hicksian IS/LM) describes an equilibrium aggregate in which the structure of the economy is absent. It is the conceptual basis of inflation targeting policy regimes in most of LA. When sectors are at different distance of the technological frontier it is not much of a help to discuss the economics of catch up. -Dutch disease and recent commoditization of the LA production structure. 2. Impact of natural resource based growth upon environmental sustainability -Tragedy of the commons and institutions in CPRs. -Impact upon lost of biodiversity, desertification, climate change and else. -KIBS and high tech activities in the value chain of natural resource based industries. 3. Expansion of the natural resource based exploitation frontier and lack of public goods. 4. The price of environmental services and Ricardian rents. 5. Social exclusion and democratic governance. -The emergence of a new middle class, demanding education nd health services, energy and transport facilities, residencial housing and else. The 1/3 2/3 societies and democratic governance.
1.IS-LM describes the equilibrium relation between i (the interest rate) and Q (output) in a closed economy, with rational agents, no market failures, no uncertainty and no institutions (besides the market itself). 2. Mundell-Fleming expands the above into an open economy model and explores short term equilibrium between the nominal exchange rate and output. MF assumes free capital mobility and shows that the authority can not maintain a fixed exchange rate and an autonomous monetary policy. This is called the impossible trinity. Floating the exchange rate in equilibrium the local i has to converge to the international interest rate. 3.Following MF most countries in LA opted for an inflation targeting macro policy regime, floating the exchange rate, allowing for free capital mobility and using the interest rate to regulate aggregate demand. 4.This isnt easy when the external cycle affects the interest rate and induces short term capital movements. These movements appreciate (depreciate) the local currency, affecting competitiveness, the structure of GDP, the local relative price of tradable and non tradable sectors and the rate of inflation.

Very little of this analytical framework has been so far used in the exploration of natural resource based industries. The dialogue between economics and the ecology is still in its infancy and both a theoretical framework and adequate policy instruments are lacking to deal with market failure in relation to sustainability and inclusiveness. A ne set of supporting institutions is still demanding to be developed.
