    How Plural Is the Plural Economy of Bolivia? Constructing a Plural Economy Indicator with Fuzzy Sets

    How plural is the plural economy of Bolivia? Constructing a plural economy indicator with fuzzy sets Rolando Gonzales Martínez* * The author thanks the editorial review and the comments from three anonymous referees. The usual disclaimer holds. 10 ROLANDO GONZALES MARTÍNEZ ABSTRACT An indicator that measures the compliance with the constitutional principles of a plural economy is proposed. An inference system based on fuzzy sets was used to calculate the indicator. The fuzzy system summarizes the principles of income redistribution and environmental sustainability into an overall measure of plural economy that allows to objectively judge the change towards a plural economy in Bolivia. JEL Classification: C02, P40 Keywords: Plural economy indicator, fuzzy sets Revista de Análisis, Enero - Junio 2012, Volumen N° 16, pp. 9-29 HOW PLURAL IS THE PLURAL ECONOMY OF BOLIVIA? CONSTRUCTING A PLURAL ECONOMY INDICATOR WITH FUZZY SETS 11 ¿Cuán plural es la economía plural de Bolivia? Construyendo un indicador de economía plural con conjuntos difusos RESUMEN Se propone un indicador que mide el cumplimiento de los principios constitucionales de una economía plural. Para calcular el indicador se usó un sistema de inferencia basado en conjuntos difusos. El sistema difuso resume los principios de la redistribución del ingreso y la sostenibilidad ambiental en una medida global de economía plural que permite juzgar objetivamente el cambio hacia una economía plural en Bolivia. Clasificación JEL: C02, P40 Palabras clave: Indicador de economía plural, conjuntos difusos Revista de Análisis, Enero - Junio 2012, Volumen N° 16, pp. 9-29 12 ROLANDO GONZALES MARTÍNEZ I. Introduction As part of a series of changes of the economic model of Bolivia, the government of this country enacted in 2009 a new State Constitution with the principles of a plural economy.

    WP 2002-03 January 2002 Working Paper Department of Applied Economics and Management Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853-7801 USA Portugal and the Curse of Riches - Macro Distortions and Underdevelopment in Colonial Times Steven Kyle Abstract Portugal and the Curse of Riches - Macro Distortions and Underdevelopment in Colonial Times Steven Kyle Cornell University December 2001 This paper attempts to answer the following question: How, in economic terms, was being colonized by Portugal “different” for Lusophone African countries than was being colonized by France or Britain? Gervase Clarence-Smith addressed this question for the period after 1825, and comes to the conclusion that Portuguese economic motivations were much the same as those for other colonial powers. Nevertheless, this leaves open the question of whether the objective conditions of Portugal’s economy and its development trajectory over the long run (i.e. from the 15th century on) may have affected its colonial relations regardless of whether motivations were the same. The answer to this question is examined in terms of Portugal’s own lack of economic development and the economic processes which led to this. Most important is the fact that Portugal experienced a massive influx of foreign exchange (gold and revenue from the spice trade) during a period when other Northern European countries were undergoing the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution and the consequent transformations in their economies that this engendered. Portugal, however, never underwent these changes until the twentieth century, due at least in part to what is commonly called “Dutch Disease” in the economics literature, a name for a pattern of problems afflicting resource rich countries which distorts their development and retards the growth of productive sectors of the economy.
