“…Linking poverty and unequal income distribution to widening disparities in labor productivity and remuneration among people, sectors, and regions, the concept of structural heterogeneity -the persistence of a leading primary export sector with high wages and productivity as opposed to poor subsistence agriculture that feeds a large part of the domestic population (Reis, Barbosa, & Cardoso, 2019). Its persistence was commonly explained by the fact that an abundant supply of labor was accompanied by a slow expansion of its demand because of the slow pace of investment growth and the predominance of high capital intensity (Bielschowsky, 2009).…”

This paper aims to investigate the economic dynamics between 2007 and 2017 in Ecuador considering the adoption — as a constitutional principle — of an ecological ideal, which emerged from the indigenous peoples of Latin America: Buen Vivir. The historical process that enshrined this concept made the Ecuadorian experience stand out in the recent history of South America. Economic planning was defined as a fundamental dimension to diversifying the productive structure. However, the dependence on oil extraction represented major obstacles to Buen Vivir, since its funding was based on fiscal policies enabled by resources from a non-sustainable activity. We analyze this process based on a theoretical background from Latin-American structuralism to Buen Vivir, examining the Ecuadorian economic plans and actual dynamics during Rafael Correa's administration, considering the following relevant macroeconomic variables: industrial composition of value-added, exports profile, public investment, foreign direct investment, energetic matrix, and structure of employment. The conclusion is that the evolution of the Ecuadorian economy has not allowed for development strictly according to the parameters of Buen Vivir.

These are dark days in Europe, in both developed and developing countries in the Western world. Our human condition and our survival as a species are endangered, under attack from multiples fronts (economic, political, social, moral, among others). The neo-liberalism and free trade of the last 40 years have proven to be less than effective in achieving the type of development that brings benefits, equity and sustainability to the populations that live in the region. Far from it, this development model has fostered social injustice, an unprecedented polarization of processes, growing concentrations of wealth, political and financial power in the hands of the very few, and above all, a monopolistic power wielded by a tiny elite over a wide range of activities that affect the fate of millions of human beings. We believe that a review of the ideas and the cross pollination that connects the thinkers that have inspired this year’s conference-- Søren Kierkegaard and Karl Marx—can serve to set up a complex critical scaffolding for understanding the tendencies that underlie these developments, estimating their historical weight and characterizing their neo-totalitarian or transpersonal ramifications for the 21st century. In fact, we contend that in an extensive and profound sense, the critique that Kierkegaard made of his times (1846) with regard to the bourgeois Christian world comes ironically close to the Marxist critique of the bourgeois capitalist world (1847). This represents a relevant convergence that can shed light on the future consequences of current developments and help to find feasible solutions for preventing or counteracting their negative impact on the majority over the medium and long terms.

Unit Root and Cointegration tests as well as autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) are used in this study to assess how selected macroeconomic variables and foreign direct investment (FDI) impact foreign trade (FT) of Jordan for the period (2010-2020). The automatic (ARDL) (E-view) method was used to assess the long-run relationship between the variables, represented in GDP, inflation rate (INFR), interest rate (IR), and FDI as independent variables, and international trade as a dependent variable. Study findings showed a positive and significant relationship between selected macroeconomic factors and direct investment in foreign commerce. This suggests that an increase in FDI by 1% results in a (0.13%) increase in foreign commerce provided that all other conditions remain constant. Gross domestic product (GDP) and foreign trade (FT) have a statistically significant positive association. The association between inflation rate (INFR), interest rate (IR), and international trade are negative and statistically significant. According to the data modified R-square (option R2) amounted to (84.2%), means that independent variables account for (84.2%) of the variation in GDP shares derived from international trade.
