Se presentan las primeras estimaciones del producto regional en Uruguay durante la Primera Globalización (desde la década de 1870 hasta los años previos a la Primera Guerra Mundial). Los resultados permiten identificar una tendencia descendente e irregular de la desigualad regional del producto per cápita consistente con un proceso de convergencia de ingresos entre departamentos. La irregularidad de la trayectoria permitiría corroborar, entonces, la actuación de fuerzas centrífugas y centrípetas alternado influencias durante el período. Las fuerzas que tendieron a desconcentrar la producción fueron la combinación de abundantes recursos naturales aptos para la producción ganadera en todo el territorio con la reducción de los costos de transporte que habría permitido volcar con fluidez la producción agropecuaria a Montevideo y, a través de su puerto, al mercado mundial. Las fuerzas centrípetas habrían respondido a un proceso caracterizado por la sostenida importancia de Montevideo como centro urbano y administrativo, mercado de bienes y servicios y centro dinámico del mercado laboral nacional. A ello se habría sumado la creciente importancia de la actividad comercial y financiera (y sus potencialidades para viabilizar el desarrollo industrial) en torno a Montevideo, la cual fue interrumpida por la crisis económica y financiera de 1890-1891. De hecho, esta actuó como una fuerza igualadora del período. El resultado fue abrir el siglo xx con niveles de desigualdad regional inferiores a los registrados en la década de 1870.

In this article, we discuss whether there was a single Latin American pattern of agricultural growth between 1950 and 2008. We analyse the sources of growth of agricultural production and productivity in ten Latin American countries. Our results show that the differences between these countries are too large to establish a single pattern for this region. However, certain common trends may be observed, such as the growing importance of labour productivity as a component of agricultural production growth and the increasing relevance of total factor productivity as a component of agricultural labour productivity growth.

The increasing interest in economic diversification, technological sophistication, and production specialization again places structural change at the centre of the economic development theory. However, efforts to measure structural change from a long-run perspective remain scarce. We aim to fill this gap using a synthetic indicator that represents the dynamics of structural change in the long-run and allows us to identify different development patterns.

This edited collection examines the evolution of regional inequality in Latin America in the long run. The authors support the hypothesis that the current regional disparities are principally the result of a long and complex process in which historical, geographical, economic, institutional, and political factors have all worked together. Lessons from the past can aid current debates on regional inequalities, territorial cohesion, and public policies in developing and also developed countries.
In contrast with European countries, Latin American economies largely specialized in commodity exports, showed high levels of urbanization and high transports costs (both domestic and international). This new research provides a new perspective on the economic history of Latin American regions and offers new insights on how such forces interact in peripheral countries. In that sense, natural resources, differences in climatic conditions, industrial backwardness and low population density areas leads us to a new set of questions and tentative answers.
This book brings together a group of leading American and European economic historians in order to build a new set of data on historical regional GDPs for nine Latin American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. This transnational perspective on Latin American economic development process is of interest to researchers, students and policy makers.

The aim of this chapter is to analyse the long-term evolution of the Uruguayan economy from a different angle, adopting a regional perspective. In so doing, we first present estimates of regional GDP for the 19 provinces (departamentos) that make up Uruguay nowadays. Our estimates correspond to 16 benchmark years throughout roughly a century and a half, from 1872 to 2012. This information allows us to evaluate the main patterns of regional income inequality from the globalization of the Atlantic economy in the late nineteenth century until today. Further, the regional GDP database offers the possibility to examine the following: the magnitude of the relevance of Montevideo and its evolution over time; the impact of different trade regimes on the levels of regional inequality; the effect of public policies during the state-led industrialization on the spatial distribution of economic activity; or the evolution of the economies of the borders with Argentina and Brazil.

Most of the regional inequality in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay stems from differences within the countries rather than from disparities across them.

The debate on the relationship between natural resources abundance and economic growth is still open. Our contribution to this field combines a long-run perspective (1870–2014) with the study of a peripheral country in the world economy (Uruguay).
