  • Eduardo Lora

Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) Durante la última década, las políticas de reforma estructural de la región han sido dirigidas cada vez más a mejorar la eficiencia económica y reducir la interferencia del gobierno en las decisiones económicas. Los efectos de este cambio todavía no han sido evaluados precisamente, debido a la falta de mediciones sistemáticas de la magnitud de las reformas estructurales. El objetivo de este documento es resumir las características más sobresalientes del proceso de reforma durante la última década y proponer un método para cuantificar el estado de las políticas estructurales.
