Abstract
"The pace of structural reforms in Latin America has been remarkable in the 1990s. Most counties have substantially reduced tariff and non-tariff protection while sub regional free trade agreements have been signed at an unprecedented pace. Capital account transactions, especially in relation to foreign investment, have been liberalized. In some cases, reforms to paternalistic labor regimes have made labor markets more flexible."
