Werner Baer is an economist at the University of Illinois. He received his Bachelor's degree from Queen's College in 1953, and a Master's and a Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1955 and 1958 respectively. His research centers on Latin America's industrialization and economic development, especially of ISI and Brazil.
Braga notes that not only does Baer’s analysis of Latin American economic development occupy a well deserved place in the economic literature dedicated to the region but also that he has been a highly influential thinker and researcher. This is because he has been repsonsible for establishing one of the largest networks of thoseinterested in the economies of Latin American. His impact on debates about Latin America’s economic experience goes well beyond his writings. [1] Rafael Correa, the current president of Ecuador, was advised by Baer during his time at Illinois.
His book, The Brazilian Economy:Development and Growth, is one of the only comprehensive studies in English of all aspects of Brazil's economic development, and is currently is its 12th edition.
