Abstract

Based on socioeconomic and historical similarities between four of the major Latin American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico), the present study aims to investigate whether such proximity was able to generate income convergence, absolute or conditional, between the period 1960 and 2012. the classic framework of the Solow model has been adapted to incorporate the government sector, the degree of economic openness and also the neo-liberal period affected this convergence. The results support the hypothesis of convergence, either absolutely or conditionally, consistent with the State's presence in these economies and taking into account the degree of openness to international trade, but were not conclusive as to the relevance of neoliberalism in the process.
