Recorded September 13, 2004
Below is the original description of the event.
Chile was the first Latin American country to engage in significant and sustained economic reform combined with land reform, beginning in the mid-1960s. Land reform ended around 1978, but the economic reforms were redirected and intensified between 1974 and 1984. This talk will examine the impact that reforms of the agricultural sector have had over the long term, including relative prices, income growth and distribution, political impact, product mix, employment and technology.
