Abstract
The aim of this Thesis is to explain the strong volatility of the Argentinian economy, starting from its role in the international division of labor, in particular, as a space of accumulation to which extraordinary wealth from natural resources flows. The proposal presented here consists of a comparative study that allows, on the one hand, to identify types of countries according to their participation in the international division of labor and, on the other hand, to measure the degree of volatility of the economies.
This study shows that the role of Argentina in the international division of labor is not sufficient to explain its peculiar volatility. From here, we develop the specificity of Argentina, from the approach originally proposed by Juan Iñigo Carrera -and later continued by other researchers. From this analysis, we argue that national specificity -shared by a group of countries- is not fully explained by export specialization. Instead, the analysis of its specific characteristics requires addressing the role of land rent, both in relation to its general and specific determinations.
On this basis, we propose a concrete empirical approximation to complete the analysis of national particularities in relation to their peculiar volatility. We perform a comparison with the case of Brazil, which is a case that, despite sharing with Argentina the role in the international division of labor, does not present similar levels of volatility. Specifically, this comparison addresses the business cycle implications of land rent’s particularities in each of the cases— these are, in relation to its magnitude, but also to the way it flows internally and externally. From here, we derive a set of conclusions which contribute to explain the greater volatility in the national case, in relation to: 1) the identification of significant differences not only in relation to the greater magnitude of land rent that flows to Argentina , but also to the greater role that it plays as a compensation mechanism for the local manufacturing sector, fundamentally, due to the lesser role of wages as a source of complementary compensation; 2) the more significant role of external funding in the process of capital accumulation in Brazil, compared to Argentina; and 3) the greater relevance of land rent outflows in the national case.
