Introduction and Overview

Patricio Aroca and Geoffrey Hewings

Chapter 1 in Structure and Structural Change in the Chilean Economy, 2006, pp 1-8 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Chilean economy over the last three decades has been a source of continuous interest and fascination for economists, political scientists and development analysts. Moving from a regime with significant protectionist policies to one with a very open economy, embracing free trade reforms, negotiating multilateral and bilateral agreements, the macroeconomic indicators suggest that the economy has prospered. In this book, a collection of chapters has been assembled to explore the macroeconomic picture in more detail and to complement this with both more detailed sectoral evaluation and an analysis of the impacts at the regional level. The latter contributions reflect an increasing need to drill down from the macroeconomic perspective to explore the degree to which economic development has or has not contributed to reducing disparities in level of welfare across the country.
