520 $a Once one of the richest countries in the world, Argentina has been in relative economic decline for most of the twentieth century. I identify three phases of Argentine economic growth.
520 $a In the first phase (pre-1913), the flourishing success of the Argentine Belle Epoque was in no small part due to spectacular rates of capital formation, which, in turn, were a facet of the massive capital export from Britain between 1900 and 1913. The foreign savings were needed because Argentina could not save sufficient income herself to finance growth at such a pace. They were essential in order to equip the flood of migrant workers from Italy and Spain. The immigrant supply was not unusually elastic--the influx was so large simply because Argentina was extraordinarily rich relative to her sending regions.
520 $a In the second phase (1913 to the 1930s), low domestic savings rates effectively constrained the attainable rate of capital accumulation. One of the determinants of this low saving capacity was a high dependency rate. Counterfactual analysis shows that if Argentina had had Australian or Canadian dependency rates in 1913, her retardation would have been not much different from the world average. In actual fact, Argentina was one of the worst performers in the transition to the inter-war economy.
520 $a In the third phase (the 1930s to the 1950s) savings constraints abated whilst Argentina retreated into inward-looking import-substitution policy with all the tariff, quota, exchange rate and other distortions that entailed. As a consequence the relative price of key imported capital goods, especially equipment and machinery, rose sharply enough to deter capital accumulation.
520 $a I conclude that much of Argentina's precipitous decline in relative economic performance can be attributed to deleterious conditions for capital accumulation after 1913. The Belle Epoque was underwritten by British finance, but when this tap was turned off the Argentines could not sustain the heady pace of development seen at the turn of the century: firstly, because they couldn't save enough; secondly, because, even when they could, price disincentives channeled funds away from, rather than toward, those investment activities which are the precursor of growth.
