The long run development of Chile and the Natural Resources curse. Linkages, policy and growth, 1850-1950. Abstract: This chapter analyses the effects of Natural Resources on the Chilean economy in the long run (1850 -1950). Specifically, the authors focus their attention on the mining cycles (nitrates and copper) and their impact on the mining activity. We also compare it with the evolution of the industry and whole economy, and how this has affected the economic growth of the country. In that sense, the industrial performance in Chile at the end of the 19th century until the Great Depression is still under debate. The optimistic view of Kirsch (1977) forehead the pessimistic view of Lagos (1966) and Palma (1979). The new data and its analyses shows a neutral effect of the Natural Resources in the industrial development.

6fi ~£s REFACE THE PRESIDENT OF THE INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK, Enrique V.Iglesias, decided in 1995 that to mark the end of the century the Bank should sponsor a history of the Latin American economies over the past 100 years. The president's personal inspiration was that development could be illuminated by a historical account tracing the interplay between policymaking and economic, social and political structures and institutions. The book would not be about theoretical approaches, but rather seek to place in proper historical context the development efforts, strategies, choices, successes and failures of the different Latin American countries. At a time when the role of the state was being radically rethought, the idea was that a balanced historical account could contribute to current debate by examining the evolving state role and different approaches to policymaking.The issue of procedure then became very important. President Iglesias wanted the book to reflect the very best of Latin American scholarship, yet a sympathetic outsider had a certain comparative advantage in coordinating and synthesizing experience across the continent. We agreed on a procedure using workshops and consultancies, with an Advisory Committee bringing together outstanding scholars from Latin America, the United States and Europe. But at the end of the dayliterally, a year-I would write the book. President Iglesias then set me free to pursue the project entirely as I wished-a remarkable act of confidence.Two workshops were established to cover what were felt to be the major gaps in the comparative literature. Each produced academic volumes being published in parallel with this book under the editorship of Enrique Cardenas, Jose Antonio Ocampo and myself. This has been in itself a happy and fruitful collaboration. The parallel volumes are frequently referred to in the text as "companion volumes," and

Chile: wages from Estudistica Chilena, industrial and total output from Ballesteros and Davis (1963), using their cited CEPAL data after 1925, and their own index 1920-1925. This follows Mamalakis (1978), although it is interesting to note that CEPAL (1978) does not include their own pre-1940 estimates for Chile.…”

The Depression of the 1930s continues to command attention; some urge wholesale revocation of the policy responses it engendered, while many predict its imminent return. An important trend in recent academic studies of the Depression is the broadening of the geographical range of countries analyzed, while adopting a more consciously comparative perspective.' This paper2 extends that work by analyzing selected experiences in Latin America, providing and commenting on comparisons with both Europe and North America. Its goal is to deepen our analytical understanding of the factors determining changes in prices and output during the period. The basic framework of discussion is simple aggregate supply and demand curves, various aspects of which are investigated below in the different parts of the paper, leading finally to some broad conclusions,
