INTRODUCTION

This paper explores long-run development patterns in the wider Caribbean overthe last 100 years. It uses a specially constructed data base for 28 Caribbean countriesdivided into two time periods: 1900-60 and 1960-1998.1 All countries of the Caribbeanhave been included whether or not they are independent together with the mainlandcountries of Belize and the three Guyanas. Where country names have changed, the mostrecent is always used. Where countries have separated (e.g. Aruba from Netherlands Antilles),an effort has been made to treat them consistently as if they had been separate entities

This paper takes a long view of economic development and inter-country income inequalityin the 28 countries making up the wider Caribbean. Using a specially constructed data base intwo parts (1900-1960 and 1960 to 1998), the paper uses exports per head as a proxy forliving standards in the first period (1900-1960) and finds that the coefficient of variationwidened significantly after 1900. This finding is supported by evidence on public revenue perhead, another proxy for living standards. This confirms the hypothesis that inter-country incomeinequality widened in the first half of the century, as some countries were much more successfulthan others in diversifying exports. In the later period (1960-1998), for which GDP per headfigures have been constructed for all countries, inter-country income inequality narrows as aresult of other countries following the example of earlier success stories in introducing newexports, especially services. This finding is supported by the evidence on public revenue perhead and years of schooling per head for the same period. However, the gap between the richestcountries and the poorest remained enormous, confirming that geography -as far as the Caribbeanis concerned- is not destiny.

throughout the last 100 years. The result is a data base covering all the former Britishcolonies (12 countries), former Dutch (Suriname), French (Haiti) and Spanish (Cuba andthe Dominican Republic) colonies (4 countries), the British Overseas Territories (5 countries),the US territories (2 countries), the Dutch-speaking territories (2 countries) and the FrenchDepartments d’Outre Mer (DOM)(3 countries).

One hundred years is a long period in economic development. One has only tothink of the transformation of the US economy between 1800 and 1900 or the changes inJapan between 1870 and 1970. An annual growth of income per head of three per centleads to a doubling in just under 25 years and therefore a 16-fold increase in living standardsin less than a century. It is possible therefore for countries with even modest growth ratesto make the transition from poor to rich status in a relatively short period of time.

The wider Caribbean was a poor region in 1900 and it still suffers a hundredyears later from a large gap with rich countries. Thus, we are not looking at a region thathas transformed itself from less developed to developed in this time period. This is not asuccess story in contrast to South-East Asia for example. However, the wider Caribbeanincludes a wide range of cases from very poor (e.g. Haiti) to very rich (e.g. Cayman Islands).Thus, it is relative performance that needs to be explained as well as absolute performance.This is all the more challenging given the assumption made by many that geography isdestiny (Gallup, Sachs and Mellinger [1999]). Clearly, in view of the wide range of livingstandards, that is not true of the wider Caribbean.

In this paper we proceed as follows: the first part is devoted to an examination of thelong-run trends found between 1900 and 1960. This section relies heavily on the data basereferred to above, although it has been supplemented by secondary sources in view of the gapsthat still remain in the data base for this period. The second part of the paper examines thetrends in the period after 1960; this also makes use of the data base which for some seriesincludes data on all 28 countries for every year. The third part of the paper provides theconclusions, while the statistical appendix contains a number of tables from the data base.2

I. FROM 1900 TO 1960

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Caribbean countries had all thecharacteristics of ‘classic’ developing countries: high birth and death rates leading to modestdemographic expansion; a productive structure orientated towards exports; an exportstructure dominated by one or two primary products; and a heavy dependence on tradewith the colonial power. In the case of the three independent countries (Haiti, DominicanRepublic and Cuba), the situation was very similar as the United States was playing (Cuba)or was about to play (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) a de facto colonial role. None ofthe indicators available to us suggest that there were at this stage any exceptions to thegeneralised poverty and backwardness of the region.

DEMOGRAPHY

As in Central and South America, the crude death rate (CDR) began to fall steadilyafter 1900 as a result of medical advances in treating such tropical diseases as yellow feverand malaria,3 improvements in sanitation and better social conditions.4 With unchangedcrude birth rates (CBR),5 this led to a rise in the annual rate of population growth fromapproximately one per cent in the first third of the century to two per cent in the second

third. However, the small size of the population in some countries meant that emigrationwas often just as important as the CBR and the CDR in determining the population increase.These migration patterns took workers not only to the United States, but also to Panama tobuild the canal, to Central America to develop the banana industry and to Europe duringthe two world wars.6

As a result of migration, the growth of population in some of the smaller countrieswas therefore far lower than might be expected from an examination of CBRs and CDRs.The population of Montserrat, for example, was almost the same in 1960 as it had been in1900.7 The same was true of the Turks and Caicos Islands as well as the Cayman Islands.Only in the larger countries, such as Haiti, did the demographic pattern conform to whatwas occurring in the rest of the developing world. And in a small number of countries therewas net inward migration with Cuba in particular receiving a significant number of migrants.8

The growth of population is shown in Figure 1 for the wider Caribbean. In 1900there were just under 7 million inhabitants – less than London or New York today. Cuba had thelargest population with nearly 1.6 million followed by Haiti (1.25 million), Puerto Rico (953,000)and the Dominican Republic (600,000). Jamaica (750,000) was the most populous of the Britishcolonies and Anguilla (3,872) the least. The largest of the French colonies was Martinique with215,000, while the largest of the Dutch territories was Suriname estimated at just under 80,000.

By the end of the period in 1960, the population had trebled to 21.3 million(see Figure 1) – not much larger than the conurbation of São Paulo today. This overallgrowth conceals wide differences at the national level (see Table A.1 in the statisticalappendix). While the population of Trinidad & Tobago, for example, approximated theregional trend, the population of Barbados barely increased over the sixty years. By contrast,the population of Cuba increased almost five-fold to nearly 7 million – the same size as theCaribbean as a whole in 1900.

EXPORTS

The small demographic size of all the Caribbean countries has made it virtuallyimpossible to use the domestic market as the main destination for production. Exports havetherefore played a crucial role in the productive system and have provided the foreignexchange for the import of both luxury goods and necessities. For that reason, the size ofthe export sector in relation to the rest of the economy has traditionally been a proxy forthe standard of living. In the absence of GDP figures, we can therefore use exports perhead as a crude approximation for the trend and variance of GDP per head in the Caribbean.9

The mean of exports per head 10 is shown in Figure 2. In 1900 its value was justover US$14. Following the First World War, there was a sharp rise that reflected the short-lived boom in sugar prices (by far the most important Caribbean export at that time). Thesugar price then fell back and with it the value of exports per head. The 1930s depressionled to another steep fall in the value of exports per head, which was only reversed at theend of the Second World War. From then until 1960, the value of exports per head roserapidly aided by the dollar inflation as well as increases in volume.

The mean value of exports per head is heavily influenced by the exportperformance of a small number of countries in the Greater Antilles (Cuba, DominicanRepublic, Haiti, Jamaica and Puerto Rico). Another way of showing the data is to use theunweighted mean, i.e. the average of exports per head for all the countries.

This is done in Table 1 for 1900 to 1960, where the unweighted mean is reportedalongside the standard deviation, the coefficient of variation, the median and the extreme

values. The unweighted mean is usually higher than the weighted mean, reflecting perhapsthe greater openness of small countries, although this was not true in 1905 nor during thesugar boom at the end of the First World War.

The generalised poverty of the region in 1900 is captured by the low standarddeviation and coefficient of variation (CV).11 The median is also very similar to the mean,suggesting an absence of skewness in the distribution. Even in 1900, however, there wasa significant gap between the highest and the lowest value for exports per head. Thevalue for Trinidad & Tobago (the highest) exceeded the value for Haiti (the lowest) by afactor of twenty-one.

Ten years later (1910) little had changed. The mean, standard deviation and coefficientof variation had all risen (see Table 1), but the gap between the highest and lowest values wasstill modest. Furthermore, St. Kitts had overtaken Trinidad as the country with the highest levelof exports per head suggesting that no country was as yet able to pull away from the rest on apermanent basis. Cuban and Puerto Rican exports, however, had risen rapidly as a result of thetariff preferences on sugar granted to the islands by the United States.

At this time there was very little diversification of exports. Bananas had begun tobe exported from Jamaica, Belize and a few other countries. Arrowroot was already a staplein St. Vincent. The most important cases were gold from Guyana and asphalt from Trinidad.The British colonies as a whole, however, were still very dependent on the export of sugar,which had been in decline for much of the 19th century as a result of the reduction ofimperial preference and the rise of beet sugar in continental Europe. This had reached a crisisin the last two decades of the 19th century forcing the British government to appoint a RoyalCommission in 1897. The report had no immediate solutions to offer, but it did argue infavour of ending the system of bounties under which beet sugar exports were subsidised.This was partially achieved by the Brussels Convention of 1902 and the conditions underwhich sugar was exported from the Caribbean did improve, although not so radically as tolead to a major increase in the value of foreign exchange receipts (Burn [1951], Chapter 6).

A brief surge in exports per head followed the First World War. This was madepossible by exceptionally high prices for sugar in 1920, which helped to push Cuban andPuerto Rican exports per head in particular to record levels. The sugar boom proved short-lived. Yet the 1920s did bring one important change - the introduction of oil refining in theNetherlands Antilles. Exports per head in the Dutch colony by the end of the 1920s werefar higher than in the rest of the Caribbean and remained so for the rest of the period. Thishad a dramatic effect on the coefficient of variation as well as the ratio between the highestand the lowest values (see Table 1). It also explains the rise in the mean between 1920 and1930 at the time when the median had fallen back to its 1900 level.

During the Second World War both exports and imports were subject to numerousdifficulties. In Dominica, for example, the level of exports per head had fallen to $6.5 by1940 and the average for all British colonies was a mere $30.2. Cuban exports per head, aswell as those from the Dominican Republic, were also back to the level in 1900 whileexports per head from Suriname were far below what had been achieved at the beginningof the century. Haiti, whose exports per head were almost invariably the lowest throughoutthe period, saw their value drop below $2 at the beginning of the war.

By 1950 the mean value of exports per head had increased significantly from theBritish colonies and from the other countries as well. Much of this was due to inflation, butthe high coefficient of variation (see Table 1) suggests that at least some countries werepulling away from the rest. The figures, however, do not include exports of services which

would acquire special importance after the Second World War. These are included in the1960 data in Table 1.

By 1960 there were a small number of countries with very high levels of exportsper head . These included, among the British colonies, the Bahamas (boosted by tourismand financial services) and Trinidad & Tobago (helped by oil). The star performers, however,were found elsewhere. The US Virgin Islands and the Netherlands Antilles benefited fromoil refining, while Puerto Rican exports per head reflected the gains made under OperationBootstrap since 1940 in the export of manufactured goods.

There were some countries by 1960 where exports per head were well below theregional average. These included Haiti, where exports per head had consistently laggedbehind other countries throughout the century, as well as the Dominican Republic. Two ofthe French territories (French Guyana and Martinique) also lagged far behind the regionalaverage. Indeed, French Guyana had the second lowest value of exports per head (afterHaiti). The worst performing British colony was Montserrat.

PUBLIC REVENUE

There is a tendency for public revenue to increase as a share of GDP with risingincomes. Thus, public revenue per head is an alternative proxy for the trend and variancein GDP per head. Since public revenue is spent in part on education, health andinfrastructure, all of which are assumed to impact positively on living standards, there isa two-way causality running between public revenue and GDP. This makes trends inpublic revenue per head of special interest.

The data on public revenue per head are less complete than for exports. Themain results are presented in Table 2 for the period from 1900 to 1960. The unweightedmean in 1900 was seven dollars (the weighted mean - $2.5 – was even lower). Even aftermaking allowance for the change in the price level, this suggests a parsimonious attitude topublic spending. This is borne out by the low standard deviation and coefficient of variation,which suggest that even the more prosperous colonies were subject to tight restrictions onpublic spending. By 1910 the position was virtually unchanged. The main exception wasSuriname where public revenue per head ($24) was the highest in the region and muchhigher than the average for the British colonies ($7.4).

The sugar boom at the end of the First World War brought a predictable surge in themean value of public revenue per head (see Table 2). This was especially true of Cuba (by nowthe highest in the region), but not in Puerto Rico despite the importance of sugar to the island.By 1930, however, the value of revenue per head had failed to increase. This was mainly as aresult of the fall in the value of trade (especially imports), on which public revenue depended.

Throughout the Caribbean social conditions deteriorated sharply in the 1930sleading to social unrest and in some cases riots. The British colonies were not exempt fromthese pressures and a Royal Commission was set up in 1938 to make proposals forimprovements. The Commission’s report was not published until 1945, but its findingsechoed the gloomy picture presented by W.M. Macmillan in his Warning from the WestIndies [1936]. The Second World War provided little opportunity to raise public spending,although a small number of countries benefited from the opening of US bases as a result ofthe wartime agreement with Great Britain. Although these bases later became a source ofpolitical tension (particularly in Trinidad), they did lead to a substantial transfer of resources,an increase in employment and a market for local producers.

The value of public revenue per head rose sharply after the Second World War(see Table 2), but the low value of the coefficient of variation suggested that little hadchanged with regard to colonial spending – at least in the British colonies. Public revenueper head in Puerto Rico, for example, was far higher than the average for the British coloniesas was the figure for Suriname.

GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP)

The data on GDP before 1960 are very incomplete. There is a series for Cubaand Puerto Rico for the whole period and for a very small number of the British colonies. Inthe 1940s, however, Benham estimated GDP per head for several countries and the Britishauthorities collected data also on the structure of the labour force. This is often a usefulproxy for the state of development since there tends to be an inverse relationship betweenthe level of GDP per head and the proportion of the labour force in agriculture.

This information is presented in Table 3 for the 16 British colonies. Barbados standsout as the country with one of the lowest shares for the agricultural labour force (27.6%) andthe highest income per head (£30). The poorest colonies recorded were St. Lucia and St.Vincent. However, the highest agricultural labour force share was found in Montserrat (59.9%)so that it would not be surprising if GDP per head there had been even lower.

The most complete figures on GDP per head are for the final year of the periodunder examination (1960). For the 28 countries we have data of variable quality giving anunweighted mean of $3,302 at 1995 prices. This figure appears to be high and this perceptionis correct as the mean has been pulled upwards by a small number of outliers (see Figure 3).The median figure for GDP per head in 1960 was approximately $1,500 and a third of thecountries were found in a narrow ($500) range around the median.

The two outliers, for whom the GDP figures are not reliable, are the US VirginIslands and the Netherlands Antilles. The very high figures (greater than $10,000) reflectthe impact of oil refining rather than tourism and this was true also of Aruba ($9,484).However, the Bahamas also scores high ($8,171) showing the impact of high service exportson GDP per head as early as 1960. This is confirmed by the figure for the Cayman Islands($6,944), where service exports were still in their infancy. (Figure 3) .

The next richest countries were both French territories (French Guyana andMartinique). As these two countries both had low levels of exports per head, this mightseem surprising. However, GDP in the DOMs is affected by the pattern of public transfersbetween mainland France and the Caribbean and these had begun to increase sharply atthe end of the 1950s.

There were also a small number of countries which were already lagging farbehind the others. Haiti was particularly unsuccessful on almost any indicator used. However,no less than seven countries had a GDP per head below $1,000 in 1960 - less than onethird of the mean level and two-thirds of the median. These other countries were Montserrat,Suriname, Guyana, Belize, Turks and Caicos Islands and the Dominican Republic. This is asufficiently heterogeneous group to suggest that low levels of GDP per head had no simplecause since the list included populous and large states as well as thinly populated and tinycountries. It also included English-, Dutch-, Spanish- and French-speaking countries.

By 1960, therefore, there were clear signs that a number of countries weredeviating sharply from the regional average. Among the successful countries, theexplanations appeared to be found either in export diversification or metropolitan transfers.

11I N T E G R A T I O N & T R A D E

Among the unsuccessful countries, the most common reason appeared to be the low levelof exports per head. There was no perfect correlation, however, between these variables sothat the pattern of GDP per head was hard to predict from any single variable.

II. FROM 1960 TO THE PRESENT

By the end of the 1950s, the traditional pattern of economic development in theCaribbean had begun to break up. Export diversification was well advanced in a small numberof countries and exports of services were beginning to be highly significant in a small numberof islands. Independence from the United Kingdom for the larger countries was on the horizon,although the short-lived experiment in Federation was about to come to an end. The CubanRevolution was a further reminder that the status quo could not be taken for granted.

The last four decades of the 20th century accentuated many of these trends. Bythe end of it there was a huge gap in economic and social terms between the most successfuland the least successful countries. Indeed, by the end of the century the gap in income perhead between the richest and the poorest country was a factor of 65 - far bigger thanbetween the Caribbean as a whole and the developed countries. Even the gap between thesecond richest and the second poorest was a factor of 23 suggesting that both virtuous andvicious circles have been at work in the Caribbean in recent decades.

POPULATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT

The demographic expansion of the Caribbean peaked in the 1960s as in mainlandLatin America. However, even at its peak the annual rate of growth was only two per cent.Thereafter, the rate of growth steadily declined, falling to one per cent in the 1990s for along-run growth after 1960 of 1.6 per cent. Even this figure is misleading as the medianrate of growth over the whole period (1960-98) was a mere 1.25 per cent.12

Outward migration is largely responsible for this contrast with mainland LatinAmerica rather than a difference in CBRs or CDRs. Migration had been a powerful force inthe smaller countries even in the first half of the century, but the phenomenon had nowbecome generalised. At least a million Cubans left the island after the Revolution and asimilar proportion of the population migrated from Haiti, the Dominican Republic andSuriname. Taking the period as a whole, no less than nine countries had population growthof less than one per cent (see Table 4), although in one case (Barbados) this was mainly dueto the low birth rate rather than migration.

Migration could also be inwards. The high standard of living and wages paid inhard currency attracted migrants into some of the Caribbean countries. Three countrieshad population growth rates in excess of three per cent (Cayman Islands, French Guyanaand the US Virgin Islands) and there was inward migration into the Bahamas, the BritishVirgin Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands as well. Finally, Belize had both: net outwardmigration (mainly English-speakers) in the 1960s and 1970s and net inward migration(mainly Spanish-speakers) in the 1980s and 1990s.

The different demographic patterns in the Caribbean affected the pressure onland in a predictable fashion. Six countries began the period with abundant land reserves(defined as five hectares or more per person). The extreme case was French Guyana, where33,000 people each had an average of 275 hectares. By the end of the period, the six hadbeen reduced to four (Belize, Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana).

12 I N T E G R A T I O N & T R A D E

Elsewhere the situation was a more familiar one of very limited land availability.Fifteen countries in 1960 had less than one hectare per person - more than half the 28territories. By 1998 this number had risen to 21 - three-quarters of the total - and thirteenhad less than 0.5 hectares per person. This might not matter where economic activity nolonger depended on natural resources, but that was true of very few countries. Tourism, forexample, is a natural resource-intensive activity even if financial services are not.

EXPORTS OF GOODS AND SERVICES

By the 1960s the domestic market in all Caribbean countries had increased, butonly in a very few was it possible to embark on a programme of import-substitutingindustrialisation (ISI) as was taking place in mainland Latin America. The most importantexperiment was in Cuba, but this was driven by the US embargo which had raised theshadow price of foreign exchange to very high levels. Elsewhere, it was hard to justify ISI atthe national level since the cost per unit tended to be so much higher than the unit price ofimports (net of tariffs).

ISI at the regional level, however, was another matter. Once the bitter legacy ofFederation had been overcome the Caribbean Free Trade Area (CARIFTA) was launchedand was converted into the more ambitious Caribbean Community (CARICOM) in 1973.Regional integration in the Caribbean, however, suffered from two main weaknesses. First,it was politically and constitutionally difficult to extend it to all 28 countries (even todayCARICOM only embraces half the countries and several of these do not apply the commonexternal tariff). Secondly, and perhaps in part because of the first reason, intra-regionaltrade accounts for a very small share of total trade in goods and an even smaller share oftrade in goods and services.

This has meant that exports of goods and services have continued to be dominatedby sales to countries outside the Caribbean - mainly the US and the European Union.Exports of goods and services on a per capita basis have grown rapidly (see Table 5), risingfrom $350 in 1960 to $3,259 in 1980 and $5,111 in 1998. Although these figures reflect tosome extent dollar inflation, the aggregate performance is still impressive.13

What has not been so impressive has been the sub-regional distribution of thegains from trade. The high (unweighted) mean is to some extent explained by a smallnumber of outliers at the top end. In particular, the oil-refining territories of the US VirginIslands, Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles distort the mean - especially so in the earlieryears. When the median is used rather than the mean, we find a much lower figure foraverage exports per head (see Table 5). Indeed, the ratio of the median to the mean fluctuatesbetween one quarter (1980) and a little over half (1970). Much of this is explained by thevariation in world oil prices.

Clearly, therefore, the export performance is affected by a small number ofvery successful countries. Thus, the coefficient of variation in 1960 was no less than 2.6(see Table 5), reflecting the high standard deviation. In that year only six countries recordeda figure for exports per head that exceeded the (unweighted) mean. Among these theonly non-oil exporters were Puerto Rico, where exports of manufactured goods wereresponding to fiscal incentives provided by the US federal authorities, and the Bahamas,which was the first to demonstrate the gains from exports of services. Ten years later(1970), Trinidad & Tobago had dropped out of this privileged list, but the Cayman Islandsand the British Virgin Islands had joined it. Both were exporting services rather thangoods, showing what could be done even by micro-states.

13I N T E G R A T I O N & T R A D E

By 1990 this list of successful exporters (defined as those where exports perhead exceeded the mean) had expanded to ten, this time with the addition of Antigua &Barbuda, Anguilla and French Guyana. All three were exporting services, although in thecase of French Guyana this had little to do with international competitiveness and everythingto do with strategic decisions taken by the metropolitan French government. By the end ofthe period (1998), the list had expanded to 11 (nearly 40 per cent of the territories) withthe inclusion of Barbados - another exporter of services.

The virtuous circle implied by these above average export per head figures mustbe set against the vicious circle of failure by several states. The most dismal has been Haiti,which has almost invariably occupied the last position in terms of the value of exports perhead. If this poor performance had been matched by a dynamic internal market, it mightnot have mattered. However, this was far from the case.

The other under-performers have not remained the same, suggesting that it ispossible to break out of the vicious circle (and also unfortunately to break into it). In 1960 thesecond lowest figure was recorded by French Guyana, in 1970 by the Dominican Republic, in1980 by Dominica, in 1990 by Guyana and in 1998 by Montserrat (where the volcanic eruptionin 1995 had played havoc with the economy). The third lowest figure for exports per headhas also rotated, being occupied by Cuba in 1998. The rapid growth of tourism had not yetcompensated the island for the collapse of exports to the former Soviet Union.

INSTITUTIONS AND HUMAN CAPITAL FORMATION

While there is broad agreement about the role of trade in economic developmentin the Caribbean, there is much less consensus on the role played by institutions and humancapital formation. While few would depart from the premise that the quality of institutionsand human capital are important determinants of long-run growth, it is much more difficultto find proxies that capture accurately what one wants to measure.

In the case of human capital, the trend in public expenditure on education perperson is shown in Table 6.14 This is a measure of inputs rather than outputs; it ignoresprivate expenditure and it ignores the differential impact of expenditure on the threebranches of educational spending: primary, secondary and tertiary. Nevertheless, it is allwe have for the complete set of countries and, despite, its imperfections, it still containsmuch useful information.

Table 6 shows, once again, the imbalance between countries – this time in termsof spending on public education. The (unweighted) mean has been consistently higherthan the median, pulled up by very high figures for a small number of countries. The widespread in spending per head on education has been a feature of the whole period and thecoefficient of variation (ratio of the standard deviation to the mean) reflects this.

The highest expenditure per head in 1960 ($115) was in the US Virgin Islands andthe lowest ($1) was Haiti, where public spending on education has never been a priority.15 TheUS Virgin Islands was also the highest in 1970, but was temporarily relegated to third place in1980 by Martinique and Guadeloupe. By 1990 the US Virgin Islands had regained the firstplace, which it still occupies today. Public expenditure on education per person in Cuba has notbeen particularly high by comparison with other parts of the Caribbean. Even in 1980, whenspending was not affected by the subsequent economic crisis, the Cuban figure was only equalto the median for the whole group of countries and therefore less than the mean.16

The lowest figure by far has always been recorded by Haiti, followed by theDominican Republic until 1998 when it was replaced by Guyana. Other low spenders have

been Montserrat and Antigua. The dollar value of spending per head in Suriname also fellsharply in the 1990s, although it had exceeded the median in all previous decades.

A proxy for the quality of institutions is even harder to find. One possibility is thestability of the nominal exchange rate on the grounds that ceteris paribus fixed exchangerates bring low inflation, which leads in turn to macroeconomic stability and secure publicfinances. Falling exchange rates, by contrast, in small open economies tend to be associatedwith high inflation, undermining public finances and weakening institutions.

It is not difficult to criticise this proxy, but it is interesting to explore the picturethat emerges.17 If we consider the period since 1960, six countries have experienced acollapse of the nominal exchange rate; Guyana (after 1986), Jamaica (after 1983), Suriname(after 1993), Haiti (after 1990) and the Dominican Republic (after 1984) with Cubaexperiencing a collapse of the black (later parallel) rate after 1990. None of these countrieswas able to achieve much by way of real exchange rate devaluation as a result of currencyfluctuations so that the gains for the tradeable sector were largely illusory (with the possibleexception of the Dominican Republic) while the costs were very real.

Both Guyana (1971-86) and Jamaica (1968-83) managed controlleddevaluations before collapse, but the only Caribbean country to have achieved a controlleddepreciation on a permanent basis has been Trinidad & Tobago (since 1984). No doubtoil exports have been part of the reason why depreciation did not ultimately lead tocurrency collapse as in the other countries.

The other 21 countries stand out for the stability of the exchange rate. Theyinclude the Eastern Caribbean states where the nominal exchange rate for all eight statesis underpinned by the regional central bank: five countries where the US dollar circulatesfreely (Bahamas, British and US Virgin Islands, Turks & Caicos Islands and Puerto Rico):three countries where the local currency is pegged to the US dollar (Barbados, Belize andthe Cayman Islands): two where it is pegged to the Dutch guilder (Netherlands Antillesand Aruba): and three where the French franc is legal tender (Martinique, Guadeloupeand French Guyana).

These 21 countries have had stable rates for a very long time. Furthermore, mostof the other countries have taken steps to stabilise their nominal rates in recent years. Thus,fluctuations in the nominal exchange rate are not viewed with much sympathy in theCaribbean despite their widespread use in much of mainland Latin America.

Stable nominal exchange rates has not eliminated inflation in the Caribbean, butthe inflation rate has tended to track consumer prices in the main trading partners (theUnited States and the European Union). During the mid-1970s, inflation surged as aconsequence of imported inflation combined with the impact of the commodity boom onthe domestic money supply. In the 1990s, however, inflation has been reduced tointernational levels in all countries except those with depreciating exchange rates. OnlyGuyana (1991) and Suriname (1993-5) experienced three-digit annual inflation.18

GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP)

Although the early estimates are less reliable than those for the later years, aseries for GDP per head in US dollars (at 1995 prices) for all 28 countries has been constructedcovering the years from 1960 to 1998. The picture that emerges is once again very differentdepending on whether one uses the aggregate figures or looks at the individual countries.19

The weighted mean for GDP per head is shown in Figure 4. It shows a steadilyrising trend and a doubling in value over the four decades. However, the openness of the

Page 11: Victor Bulmer-Thomas Summaryctrc.sice.oas.org/geograph/caribbean/Bulmer_thomas.pdfVictor Bulmer-Thomas Summary PhD, Director, Royal Institute of International Affairs. INTRODUCTION

15I N T E G R A T I O N & T R A D E

Caribbean economies renders them vulnerable to external shocks. The 1970s oil shockcaused GDP per head to stagnate for a number of years, while the debt crisis at the start ofthe 1980s led to a small fall in GDP per head. However, the greatest drop in GDP per headcame at the beginning of the 1990s. This is heavily influenced by the sharp drop in GDP inCuba after the collapse of the former Soviet Union. (Figure 4)

Using the unweighted mean (see Table 7), the figure for GDP per head in 1960was much higher ($3,302). This suggests a highly skewed distribution and this is confirmedby the median income per head of $1,479, which was a mere 45 per cent of the unweightedmean. The skewness is due – as we have already seen – to a small number of outliers withvery high values of GDP per head.

Once again, as for exports of goods and services per head, this draws our attentionto the skewed distribution. Thus, in 1960 the gap between the poorest country (Montserrat)and the richest (US Virgin Islands) was a factor of 26, while even the gap between thesecond poorest (Haiti) and the second richest (Netherlands Antilles) was 21.

By 1960 nine countries had an income per head above the unweighted mean.These countries had already broken away from the traditional pattern of development andthey were all to remain among the elite group in the next four decades. They included thethree DOMs, the two Dutch dependencies, the virtual US dependencies (Puerto Rico andthe US Virgin Islands) and two British colonies (Bahamas and the Cayman Islands).

During the last four decades, the unweighted mean rose from $3,302 to $7,666,an annual average growth of 2.24 per cent. This impressive figure was dwarfed by thegrowth in median income from $1,479 to $6,827 - an annual average growth rate of 4.11per cent. This raised the median as a percentage of the mean to nearly 90 per cent, implyinga narrowing of the skewness of the distribution from what it had been in 1960.

This was indeed the case. Furthermore, the coefficient of variation was also fallingsteadily reaching 0.77 by 1990 (the same as in 1998) compared with 1.06 in 1960. The exampleof the earlier successes was followed by others so that by 1998 13 countries - almost half thetotal - had an income per head above the unweighted mean. In addition to the nine countriesthat enjoyed this privileged status in 1960, the list now included Barbados, Antigua, Anguillaand the British Virgin Islands. All these countries had invested heavily in the export of services.

Despite the example offered by these relatively successful countries, a handful ofstates failed to break out of the vicious circle. Haiti is the best known case with GDP perhead falling by 1998 to 72 per cent of what it had been in 1960 (even then a very lowfigure). However, the seven countries in 1960 with income per head less than $1,000(Montserrat, Haiti, Suriname, Guyana, Belize, Turks & Caicos Islands and the DominicanRepublic) had been reduced to three by 1998 (Haiti, Guyana and Suriname).

Five countries achieved annual growth in GDP per head above four per cent (St.Kitts, Anguilla, British Virgin Islands, Turks & Caicos, and Montserrat), including some ofthe poorest states in 1960. This suggests that ‘catch-up’ is a real possibility in the Caribbean.By contrast, some of the slowest growing countries (e.g. the Netherland Antilles and theUS Virgin Islands) were those that had already achieved by 1960 a high standard of living.Nearly 20 countries managed growth in excess of two per cent per year and only Haiti wasunable to avoid negative growth in GDP per head.

III. CONCLUSIONS

The outstanding feature of the wider Caribbean is the small size of the averageunit. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average size of population was a mere

Page 12: Victor Bulmer-Thomas Summaryctrc.sice.oas.org/geograph/caribbean/Bulmer_thomas.pdfVictor Bulmer-Thomas Summary PhD, Director, Royal Institute of International Affairs. INTRODUCTION

16 I N T E G R A T I O N & T R A D E

250,000; even by the end of the century it was not much greater than one million.Thus, it is not surprising that the wider Caribbean has experienced a pattern ofdevelopment in the last 100 years that in a number of respects distinguishes the regionfrom other parts of the developing world.

With its geographical proximity to North America and colonial ties to Europe,migration has played an important part in the demographic patterns of the last 100 years.After the 1995 volcanic eruption, for example, over half the population of Montserratmoved to the United Kingdom. Outward migration has also brought inward remittances.These have not been studied here, but they constitute an increasingly important part offoreign exchange receipts in most Caribbean countries.

The small size of the domestic market in almost all countries has placed a specialburden on the export sector. The ratio of exports to GDP has always been very high in anumber of countries. For the region as a whole, in the mid-1990s, it exceeded 50 per cent-very high by the standards of developing countries in general and Latin America in particular.

In the first half of the 20th century, exports consisted mainly of primarycommodities and these were dominated by sugar. This changed dramatically in the secondhalf of the century with the growth of service exports. In many cases, service exports arenow more important than commodity exports and this is no longer true only of the smallercountries. Tourism in Cuba, for example, has overtaken all other commodity exports ingross value and will soon overtake sugar in terms of net value.20

The variance of economic performance appears to have widened significantly inthe last 100 years. The generalised poverty in 1900 has given way to a much more complicatedpicture in which some countries have reached levels of GDP per head equal to those of theOrganisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average. At the otherend of the spectrum are a small number of countries where GDP per head has stagnated oreven fallen. This pattern is too complicated to be explained by any single variable, but theredoes appear to be a high correlation between GDP per head and exports per head (see thepaper by Shelton Nicholls in this collection). Other seemingly relevant variables, such as themanagement of environmental resources, do not appear to be closely linked with movementsin GDP per head (see the paper by Elizabeth Thomas-Hope in this collection).

The case studies in this collection are designed to shed light on why some countrieshave been more successful than others in increasing exports. What emerges is verycomplicated, but several general themes are apparent. The quality of institutions and thestability of the macroeconomic framework is of major importance, but this is not necessarilylinked to constitutional status. Some independent countries, such as Barbados, score highlyin this regard as do some colonies, such as the Cayman Islands. Investment in human andsocial capital is more problematic. In some cases, such as Suriname, it appears to have ledto a rise in emigration rather than an increase in productivity.

The increases in exports and GDP per head are evidence of the ability of at leastsome Caribbean countries to shape their own destiny. Yet nothing can be taken for granted.In the next few years, the privileged access to the European Union for many traditionalexports will be lost while the future of offshore financial services is now in doubt. Tourismis also under threat from domestic violence on the one hand and environmental disasterson the other. Maintaining the dynamism of the export sector even in the hitherto successfulcountries will not be easy.

2 These are also available on the website of the Social Science Research Council (SSRC)in New York (www.ssrc.org).

3 There is a good discussion of the impact of these diseases on the wider Caribbean inJones [1931], Chapter 3.

4 By way of illustration, the CDR (expressed per thousand) in Trinidad & Tobago fellfrom 25 in 1900 to 19 in 1930 and 8 in 1960.

5 The CBR (also expressed per thousand) was not of course constant, but there wasmuch less sign of a long-term trend. Again, using Trinidad & Tobago by way of contrast,we may note that the CBR was 37 in 1900, 31 in 1930 and 38 in 1960.

6 The population data for this period (1900-1960) for all countries is given in TableA.1 in the statistical appendix.

7 It was 12,217 in 1900 and 12,000 in 1960.

8 One of these was the father of Fidel Castro, who arrived from Spain in the firstdecade of the 20th century.

9 The close correlation between GDP per head and exports per head for the periodsince 1960 is demonstrated by Shelton Nicholls in his paper in this collection.

10 The mean is calculated as the sum of exports for all countries divided by the sum ofpopulation.

11 The CV measures the ratio of the standard deviation to the (unweighted) mean andtherefore can be compared easily over time.

12 The detailed population figures for this period can be found in Table A.2 in thestatistical appendix.

13 The detailed figures for exports per head can be found in Table A.6 in the statisticalappendix.

14 The detailed figures for public spending on education per head can be found inTable A.7 in the statistical appendix.

15 The proportion of children enrolled in Haiti in 1900 has been estimated at 2% (seeMiller [1992], Chapter 7). It was still only 36.5% in 1980.

16 The Cuban wage system for public sector workers is so different from the rest of theCaribbean that too much should not be read into this surprising result.

Statistical Appendix

This statistical appendix contains ten tables drawn from the data base referred toin the text. They represent a sample of the tables prepared for this project and are the mainones referred to in the paper. They are available on the website of the Social Science ResearchCouncil (www.ssrc.org). The following notes on each table provide the main assumptionsused in their preparation as well as giving the sources used.

TABLE 1. POPULATION, 1900-60

This table was derived from official sources for all countries. Some of these arereported in Mitchell [1993], but most were obtained from the British, French and Dutchcolonial records. In some cases there are no estimates in the official sources (e.g. Surinamebefore 1920). These gaps have been filled in by interpolation using the growth rate ofpopulation in the closest period. The interpolated data appear in blue in the website versionof Table 1.

Aruba is not listed separately in Table 1 and its population is included in thefigures for the Netherlands Antilles. The 1960 figures are taken from Table 2 in order toensure consistency.

TABLE 2. POPULATION, 1960-98

The main source for this table is the World Bank CD-ROM of World DevelopmentIndicators [2000]. The series starts in 1960 and ends in 1998. The CD-ROM only hasfigures for independent countries, although it does not include Cuba. The sources for non-independent countries were the same as for Table 1.

TABLE 3. MAIN EXCHANGE RATES, 1900-60

This table records the exchange rate of the US dollar to the pound sterling, theFrench franc and the Dutch guilder from 1900 to 1960. This information is all that is neededto convert nominal values to US dollars for this period as the primary sources are all quotedin one of these currencies or in British West Indian dollars that had a fixed rate (4.80) to thepound sterling.

Before the First World War, France, Holland, the United States and the UnitedKingdom were all on the gold standard so that exchange rates did not vary. Rates duringthe First World War are taken from Bank of England quarterly reports. The data for theinter-war years are taken either from the League of Nations Statistical Yearbooks or theBank of England quarterly reports. The IMF’s International Financial Statistics (IFS) wasused for other years as the earliest editions cover the years from 1936 onwards.

No exchange rate to the US dollar is reported for the French franc and the Dutchguilder during the war years. The exchange rate was therefore assumed to have been thesame as in 1939. This is a reasonable assumption for the French franc as the rate in 1945was similar to that in 1939, but it does imply a steep fall in the value of the Dutch guilderbetween 1944 and 1945. At the end of the 1950s the French authorities introduced thenew franc equivalent to 100 old francs. The exchange rate for 1960 takes this into accountand appears in red in the website version.

TABLE 4. EXPORTS OF GOODS PER HEAD ($), 1900-60

This table, still incomplete, was obtained from official sources, some of which arerecorded in Mitchell [1993]. The primary sources are listed in a variety of currencies. Thesewere converted to US dollars using the exchange rates in Table 3.
