Income distribution and the balance of payments: a formal reconstruction of some Argentinian structuralist contributions

Summary:
A two part paper by Ariel Dvoskin and Germán David Feldman.

We leave until Part II of the paper the assessment of the implications of ‘financial dependency’, namely the
