Abstract
This paper analyzes the pattern of Argentine economic development from the mid-nineteenth century until the present day. Initially, an overview of the Argentine developmental experience is given, emphasizing the three general phases of Argentine economic development - 1) agricultural export dominance, 2) industrialization through import substitution, and 3) the present state of cyclical economic crises and domestic instability. Secondly, the phases of development are examined from an economic viewpoint to determine their cumulative effects upon the Argentine economic structure. Finally, a model of Argentina "self-sufficiency" based on input-output analysis is presented as a point of departure for future developmental planning. The results of the analysis point out the basic problems behind the present-day Argentine developmental structure and demonstrate the interactions of the various phases in the contribution to the existing cyclical instability. The model demonstrates a logical method for future sectoral analysis.
