Populist governments and economic development in Ecuador, 1950 - 2016

Abstract

This article analyzes different governments called populists 1950-2016, the reasons for their emergence, policies implemented and their results achieved, based on the analysis of certain macroeconomic variables, such as Gross Domestic Product, GDP per capita, Gross enrollment ratio in primary education , among other. The research is qualitative and quantitative, transversal, using secondary sources, which are analyzed and contrasted with the different periods of populist governments. It is in the regime of Jaime Roldós where better results are evidenced, especially in the educational area, health and a better redistribution of wealth, reflected in higher incomes for the population.
