Abstract

A study of medium and large domestic manufacturing firms in Latin America shows that the region's new economic model has led to significant transformations in firm behavior. The study results may not be generalizable, however, since the sample is small and not statistically representative. Nevertheless, they provide insights into the behavior of the most modernizing domestic manufacturing firms, and into the role of policy aimed at encouraging firms to upgrade.

Keywords: Latin America; microeconomics; industry; exports
