Tables and Figures for: Is there a Caribbean sclerosis?: stagnating economic growth in the Caribbean

By Country Department Caribbean Group (VPC/CCB/CCB)

This dataset provides the tables and figures supporting the 2014 report "Is There a Caribbean Sclerosis? Stagnating Economic Growth in the Caribbean," covering topics such as economic growth, small economies, the Caribbean, productivity, competitiveness, and macroeconomic instability.

The report addresses several critical questions regarding Caribbean nations: Does size matter for economic growth and volatility? To what degree has Caribbean economic growth been inferior to that of ROSE? What could account for the Caribbean growth gap, and what economic policies might decision-makers adopt to promote higher and sustainable growth?

Country focus

The central focus is on six countries in the region, referred to as the C6: The Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago. The analysis also sometimes includes, most often in the aggregate, the countries of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). The six members of the OECS used in this report are Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

Structure

The dataset is organized as seven XLSX resources, each corresponding to a chapter of the report. The report was prepared by members of the Caribbean Economics Team (CET) of the Country Department Caribbean (CCB) of the Inter-American Development Bank.
