摘要:During the last decades, Latin American economies have liberalized their capital
accounts and their domestic capital markets and banking-financial sectors to
accelerate economic growth. It was taken for granted that Latin American
countries suffered from a deep scarcity of capital and an inefficient working of
domestic banking and financial intermediaries. The existing empirical evidence
shows that despite the depth of these reforms the path of economic growth in the
region is not higher or more stable. In this paper we suggest that an
explanation for this bad performance is that the financial liberalization
process has not lead to the expected higher levels of private savings and
investments and to a higher financial depth.
