Abstract
The economic development of Chile represents an interesting case of divergence and convergence with developed countries. In the late nineteenth century, its GDP per ca-pita was comparable with some countries of the European periphery and far exceeded the current developed countries of South East Asia. However, after the First World War and particularly in the years following the Great Depression, Chile began to show clear signs of exhaustion of its growth model. This article, using quantitative series of physical capital in machinery of recent works (doctoral theses, articles and book chapters) plus primary sources, the influence of physical capital formation in machi-nery is analyzed and their relationship with the divergence of Chile...

This article, using quantitative series of physical capital in machinery of recent works (doctoral theses, articles and book chapters) plus primary sources, the influence of physical capital formation in machi-nery is analyzed and their relationship with the divergence of Chile with the group of advanced countries. Additionally, this article presents a sectoral analysis of investment in machinery for the main productive sectors. (Less)
