Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and the Center for the New Economy publication A non-incorporated territory of the United States, Puerto Rico operates under U.S. legal, monetary, security and tariff systems. Despite sharing in these and other key U.S. institutions, Puerto Rico has experienced economic stagnation and large scale unemployment since the 1970s. The island's living standards are low by U.S. standards, with a per capita income only half that of Mississippi, the poorest state. While many studies have analyzed the fiscal implications of Puerto Rico's political relationship with the United States, little research has focused broadly on the island's economic experience or assessed its growth prospects. In this innovative new book, economists from U.S. and Puerto Rican institutions address a range of major policy issues affecting the island's economic development. To frame the current situation, the contributors begin by assessing Puerto Rico's past experience with various growth policies. They then analyze several reforms and new initiatives in labor, education, entrepreneurship, fiscal policy, migration, trade, and financing development, which they incorporate into a proposed strategy for jumpstarting Puerto Rican economic growth. Contributors include Gary Burtless (Brookings Institution); Orlando Sotomayor, Luis Rivera-Batiz, Ramón Cao, Maria Enchautegui, José Joaquín Villamil, Eileen Segarra, Marinés Aponte, and Juan Lara (University of Puerto Rico); Richard Freeman and Robert Lawrence (Harvard University); Helen Ladd (Duke University); Francisco Rivera-Batiz (Columbia University); Steven Davis and Bruce Meyer (University of Chicago); James Alm (Georgia State University); Ingo Walter, Rita Maldonado-Bear, and William Baumol (New York University); Belinda Reyes (University of California, Merced); Alan Krueger (Princeton University); Carlos Santiago (University of Wisconsin); David Audretsch (Indiana University); Ronald Fisher (Michigan State University); Fuat Andic (UN Advisor); Arturo Estrella (NY Federal Reserve); James Hanson and Daniel Lederman (World Bank); James Dietz (University of California, Fullerton); and Katherine Terrell (University of Michigan).

Among the population of Puerto Rico there is a simultaneous presence of a high rate of unemployment and a well-educated workforce. How has this happened? How could the country overcome this economic situation and return to a path of sustainable economic growth in the short and long term? The study here presented introduces an objective and scientific input on these economic issues that are impacting the Puerto Rican society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puerto Rico's economic development strategy has hit rock-bottom. The once so called 'most open economy of Latin America' (Collins et al., p.1) now faces the insolvency of its 52 state-owned enterprises, the degradation of its triple-tax-exempt municipal bonds to junk grade as well as multi-million losses in the stock market value of the banking industry. To make things worse, the Governor of Puerto Rico recently announced that the $73 billion debt in municipal bonds is unpayable. The causes of this strategic and economic downfall have been brewing for the past six decades: (a) a political system whose economic strategy mostly favored the big enterprise over the local entrepreneur, (b) a pervasive governmental intervention in economic affairs, and (c) a lack of connectivity and continuity between the initiatives and actors responsible for fostering an entrepreneurial climate on the island (Soto-Rodriguez, 2014). As depicted on Table 1, the effectiveness of Puerto Rico's 60-year old model was short lived. Its benefits reached their peak by the end of the 1970s when the economy reported an average growth of 4%. Thereafter, the economy has never been able to grow above the 3% mark.
