Geographers, on their side, must see beyond the analytical conventions used in mainstream economics, and work with economists whose methods and topics place them firmly within the ‘heterodoxy’ of that discipline. Economists, in turn, must develop much clearer ideas about the boundaries and possibilities of spatial analysis in economics. We illustrate our argument by exploring several economic models of financial crises in developing countries. The modeling conventions that guide mainstream models rule out both social factors and ‘real space,’ just as they rule out the ‘real time’ approach used in Post-Keynesian economics. Bringing in ‘real time’ and ‘real space’ requires breaking with these conventions.","PeriodicalId":261649,"journal":{"name":"Capital Movements and Corporate Dominance in Latin America","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123736092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis considers measures of both within-country and between-country income inequality, paying explicit attention to regional differences in the analysed phenomena.

Given their longer-time horizon, pension funds are expected to contribute positively to the development of large and deep domestic local currency bonds markets, and hence ease fiscal and external constraints in these countries. However, previous research shows that this is not necessarily always the case. In the case of foreign pension funds, the funds embeddedness in a hierarchic and structured international financial and monetary system might maintain external vulnerability and financial market instability. On the other hand, the development of domestic pension funds might promote destabilising financial sector developments, which weigh on productive investment and structural change. This chapter provides a comprehensive discussion of these respective costs and benefits of growing pension fund investments in emerging economies. It concludes by linking the discussion to the wider question of how best to provide long-term finance for productive structural change without the creation of destabilising financial sector developments, drawing out the suggestion that the state itself must be part of the answer.","PeriodicalId":261649,"journal":{"name":"Capital Movements and Corporate Dominance in Latin America","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133053189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that mainstream theories developed their propositions on the basis of Global Value Chains (GVC) and free international trade that, we consider, highly restrictive for these economies’ growth and development.The major break out of these developments are that after the 2008 GFC some advanced countries moved towards protectionist policies in order to limit GVCs and international trade; while LA economies, outstandingly Brazil, did not modify their position following uncritically the same international integration in relation to GVCs.In this context, we discuss the economic and financial development in relation to the international integration in the context of the global capital dynamics after GFC. We argue that developing economies, particularly the Brazilian economy experience has a subordinated character in the international financial sphere. This character has shaped its international integration.","PeriodicalId":261649,"journal":{"name":"Capital Movements and Corporate Dominance in Latin America","volume":"181 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114702624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This reality generates a broad debate on the effectiveness of foreign direct investment in Latin America, as Growth and development conditions have stagnated in the region. The objective of this chapter is to examine the effectiveness of foreign direct investment on economic Growth and development in Latin America during the period 1996-2017. The methodology used is panel data with long N and T to measure the relationship between capital movements and economic Growth and its relationship with human development in Latin America. To this end, two econometric models are presented, one model to determine the relationship of foreign direct investment with economic Growth, and another model to determine the relationship of foreign direct investment with development, both developed under the same technical criteria. The results, under the premise that Growth is not the same as development, show that foreign direct investment contributes positively to economic Growth as measured by variations in GDP. Simultaneously, money flows sent abroad captured from the balance of net income in the balance of payments sent abroad negatively affect human development.","PeriodicalId":261649,"journal":{"name":"Capital Movements and Corporate Dominance in Latin America","volume":"11 14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115585979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
