ECONOMÍA Journal was initially established as the “Revista Economía” of the Department of Economics of the Pontificia Universidad Católica of Peru (PUCP) in 1977. It is the oldest academic journal on economics in the country. Building on that legacy, ECONOMÍA has now been relaunched as an internationally refereed journal dedicated to publishing original academic research on economics in English, with an expanded and prestigious Editorial Board, as well as a large team of Associated Editors that guarantee the highest theoretical and methodological standards.

ECONOMÍA also offers a manuscript management platform that provides an eficient workflow among authors, associate editors and referees throughout the process of manuscript submission and evaluation. In this new stage, ECONOMÍA aspires to continue leading the progress of academic literature in the country as well as position itself in a prominent place in the Latin American region.

    El crecimiento económico en el Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2008) Loayza, Norman V.
    This paper analyzes the experience of economic growth in Peru during the last five decades. It describes its principal characteristics, explains the changes along the period and predicts its future path. The methodological approach consists in a combination of accounting and econometric techniques, both based in comparisons between countries and periods of time. The study discovers that the most important turning points of the economic growth were caused by changes in the productivity of all inputs, instead of the simple accumulation of capital. Specifically, the paper finds out that the recover of the economic growth in Peru during the 1990’s was caused by the process of structural reforms and stabilization and lasts until now. The future growth of the economy depends on the continuation and deepness of this process.

    Desigualdad, instituciones y crecimiento económico en América Latina
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2012) Coatsworth, John H.
    Inequality, institutions and economic growth in Latin AmericaThis essay examines three recent historical approaches to the political economy of Latin America’s relative economic backwardness. All three locate the origins of contemporary underdevelopment in defective colonial institutions linked to inequality. The contrasting view offered here affirms the significance of institutional constraints, but argues that they did not arise from colonial inequalities, but from the adaptation of Iberian practices to the American colonies under conditions of imperial weakness. Colonial inequality varied across the Americas; while it was not correlated with colonial economic performance, it mattered because it determined the extent of elite resistance to institutional modernization after independence. The onset of economic growth in the mid to late nineteenth century brought economic elites to political power, but excluding majorities as inequality increased restrained the region’s twentieth-century growth rates and prevented convergence

    El sistema terrateniente y los límites de la política monetaria española liberal en la primera mitad del siglo XIX
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2011) Prieto Tejeiro, Enrique; Haro Romero, Dionisio de
    The landlord system and the limits of liberal Spanish monetary policy in the first half of the 19th centuryThis paper aims to deepen the understanding of the transition from traditional to modern monetary systems and its impact on economic growth in the Spanish economy over the first half of the nineteenth century. The main sources on which the study of this period’s monetary policy is based, are, among others, the proceedings of the parliamentary committee; during the Trienio Liberal, these related to a draft for the complete reform of the monetary system inherited from the Antiguo régimen, whose results would be constrained by three factors: firstly, by the persistence of traditional institutions; secondly, by difficulties in linking this monetary reform with the discussions that were taking place in the more developed countries, particularly in England; and, thirdly, the short duration of the period in which it took place, and the restoration of the old monetary policy with the Tarifa de Tolosa in 1823.

    Los terremotos, el crecimiento económico y el desarrollo
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2011) Vega-Centeno, Máximo
    This paper aims to set decision framework for the earthquake preventions measures. The starting point is the differences between the natural phenomenon and the disaster; although both have frequency in common, the last one is more unpredictable, but in both cases is a question to make probability estimation. In other words, the earthquakes in Peru appear suddenly and they are an inevitable and repetitive phenomenon. According to that, a better prevention measures can be taken, in order to reduce the economical impact, mainly for the lower income people and improving the quality of life for them in social and human terms. Under such conditions, the absences of an adequate policy on this matter make people unsure about their future and this is a brake for human development
