Export Performance in Chile: Lessons for Africa

Manuel R. Agosin ()

Research Paper from World Institute for Development Economics Research

Abstract: Since the mid-1970s, Chile's exports have expanded at a fast rate, and the export basket has diversified considerably, away from copper towards other primary commodities and commodity-intensive manufactures. This papee explores the causal factors and the policy implications that can be drawn from Chile's experience for countries in Africa wishing to follow a growth strategy based on expanding non-traditional exports.
