Why are growth rates in Latin America so disappointing? This book reviews the results of an ambitious research project to determine the binding constraints to growth, that is, the barrier whose removal would yield the greatest benefit in terms of growth. Included are case studies from seven...

This is the latest version available of this document. This paper follows the GDM approach, with the aim of identifying the binding constraints to Ecuadorian growth, defined as those constraints whose removal would have the largest payoff in terms of growth. As per the strategy, different...

This presentation corresponds to the study "Ecuador: Binding Constraints to Growth" in which the Growth Diagnostic Model (GDM) is followed with the aim of identifying the binding constraints to Ecuadorian growth, defined as those constraints whose removal would have the largest payoff in terms...
