Abstract

The focus of this chapter is centered on the process of product concentration and the evolution of regional disparities in Latin America and its relationship to countries’ economic growth. For this purpose, a group of eight countries have been taken into account: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Panama and Peru. To carry out the empirical analysis these countries offer the advantage of having uniform regional and national data that enables the comparison between them. Nevertheless, figures from Ecuador will also be considered to study some specific aspects, as regional disparities of income per capita, the concentration of population and the increasing exports of raw materials to other American, European and Asian economies.
