Abstract: Abstract Latin American countries have fared relatively poorly in terms of fostering productivity. Latin America’s productivity has been falling compared to other benchmark countries such as the United States, and the countries of the region have not even performed well in absolute terms. Had they performed at the same level as the world’s average country, countries like Argentina would be among the world’s richest. Yet, most Latin American countries have fallen behind.
