Abstract

This thesis looks at global economic factors and Argentina’s internal economic policy and political conditions of the last decade to determine the near-term future of the economy. By analyzing the factors that previously influenced the trajectory of the economy of Argentina, I will try to answer this question: What is the trajectory of the Argentine economy in the current political climate? In 2001 after a ten-year period of economic policy reform, the Argentine economy collapsed. Over a decade has passed since the crash of 2001, and now Argentina is once again in a precarious position. The dependent variable of this study is the macroeconomic condition of Argentina. More specifically, I will use the information gathered about the global economic climate and internal economic policy to draw a connection to GDP per capita, growth rates, and unemployment rates that resulted. I will also analyze the patterns of change in these figures over time. Then, I will use these findings to predict how these rates will change in the future.
