AB In this study we examine productivity growth and their relationship with internationalopenness in Latin American countries over the period 1980¿2006. Overall results onproductivity indicate a stagnation process for the entire period 1986¿2006. Thedecomposition of productivity into catching up and technical change reveals that the firsthave a stagnation process and the latter worsening. Analyzing the relationship betweenproductivity growth and international openness we find different patterns for bothmethodologies parametric (Arellano¿Bond estimator) and nonparametric (GAM) and forboth measures of international openness merchandise trade (% of GDP) and(export+imports)/GDP. In particular in a parametric way, although the shape is curvilinearfor both models the relationship is positive inverted U¿shaped in the first case and Ushapedin second.
