Description
Summary:<abstract language="eng">The aim of this paper is to carry out an empirical analysis about the relation between Capital Account Liberalization and Economic Growth having as object of study the experience of 16 countries of Latin America with annual data for the period 1986-2000.

The results suggest an adverse effect of the liberalization of the Capital Account on the real growth gross domestic product per capita of the countries.
