Abstract

This paper attributes the origins of the Latin American external debt problem to the oil price and real interest rate increases and debtor country and international bank policies. Next, it briefly examines the implications of economic adjustments to service the debt. Finally, in order to facilitate research on the linkages between debt and agricultural trade, the paper suggests some factors to consider in modeling import behavior and international borrowing.
