Resumo
We analyze the evolution of GDP per capita in several areas of the world during the period 2000-2010, taking into account the positive relationship between industry and development and the negative effect of excessive external debt. We find that the OECD countries and Latin America are the areas where there has been a greater impact of the economic crisis during the period 2007-2010. With respect to increase in imports, we find that the impact is positive if it does not imply a decline in industrial output per capita and if it does not cause an excessive deficit in the trade balance, but we find negative effects in other case, specially when foreign debt is unsustainable. The article includes an Annex on the advantages of development policies versus adjustment policies in the European Union and other areas.
