The Intersection of Economics and Politics in a Small OPEC Country: the Case of Ecuador, 1990 - March 2014

Today, crude oil remains a vital resource all around the world. This non-renewable resource powers countries worldwide. Besides serving as an energy source, crude oil is also the most important component for different world economies, especially in developing countries. Ecuador, a small member of the OPEC oil cartel, presents a case where its economy is oil dependent. A great percentage of the country¿s GDP and government¿s budget comes from oil revenues. Ecuador has always been a primary exporter of raw materials. In the last centuries, the country experienced three important economic booms: cacao, bananas, and, ultimately, crude oil. In this sense, the country has not been able to fully industrialize and begin to export manufactured goods, i.e., Ecuador suffers from the Dutch disease. The latter has deterred Ecuador from achieving broad-based economic development. Given crude oil¿s importance for the Ecuadorian economy, the government has always tried to influence the oil industry in search of profits and benefits. Therefore, this thesis, explores the question: how and to what extent have political interventions affected the oil industry in Ecuador from 1990 until March 2014? In general, this thesis establishes an economic history context during the last twenty-four years, attempting to research how political interventions have shaped Ecuador¿s oil industry and economy. In the analysis, it covers a period where political instability prevailed, until Rafael Correa became president. The thesis examines Ecuador¿s participation in OPEC, trying to find explanations as to why the country voluntarily left the organization in 1992, only to rejoin in 2007 when Correa rose to power. During the ¿Revolución Ciudadana¿ period, the thesis researches reforms to the Law of Hydrocarbons, variations in the relations with other nations, the controversy surrounding the Yasuní-ITT oil block, and the ¿Refinería del Pacífico¿ construction. The thesis is an Industrial Organization detailed case study that analyzes, updates, and evaluates the intersection of economics and politics in Ecuador¿s crude oil industry during the last 24 years. In this sense I have consulted past theses, newspaper articles, books, and other published data about the petroleum industry, both from a global and Ecuadorian perspective. In addition to published sources, I was able to interview sociologists, public figures, history and economics academics, and other experts, accessing unique unpublished data about Ecuador¿s oil industry. I made an effort to collect information that shows the private and public side of the industry, i.e., from government-related and independent sources. I attempted to remain as objective as possible to make conclusions about the appropriate Industrial Organization policy for Ecuador¿s oil industry, addressing the issue from an economic, social, political, and environmental point of view. I found how Ecuador¿s political instability caused public policy to fail, molding the conduct and market structure of the crude oil industry. Throughout history, developed nations have benefited from low oil prices, but things shifted since oil prices began to rise, which is more beneficial for the developing nations that actually possess and produce the raw material. Nevertheless, Ecuador, a victim of the Dutch disease due to its heavy reliance on crude oil as a primary product, has not achieved broad-based development.

Dise?o de un programa de agricultura en el marco de las BPA por sitio espec?fico, para un sistema auto sostenible en el predio la luna de la Cooperativa Trascender [recurso electr?nico]

La agricultura ha estado ligada al desarrollo de las comunidades humanas. A trav?s de diferentes tecnolog?as, se ha logrado mediante pruebas, el desarrollo de programas productivos que han tratado de resolver los problemas de abastecimiento de alimentos, in ?xito, al pretender producir sin contemplar las repercusiones que se obtienen al tener programas sin control ambiental, ni mucho menos inocuidad en el producto. Por ello las diferentes corrientes de agricultura alternativa, que han surgido en la d?cada de los a?os 0, han sido una respuesta con un modelo de producci?n denominado ?Revoluci?n arde". Dada la historia, se promueve para este proyecto la utilizaci?n de las Buenas Pr?cticas agr?colas (BPA's) que incrementa la producci?n del predio mediante la optimizaci?n de so de recursos y asocio de cultivos, que en este caso es la siembra de hortalizas entre callejones de los c?tricos, para obtener cosechas alternadas, adem?s del ascenso de las mismas de los dos cultivos asociados, mediante tecnolog?as ecol?gicas de precisi?n. Para el predio LA LUNA localizado en la Vereda Potrerito del municipio de Jamando Valle, de propiedad de la COOPERATIVA TRASCENDER, se levant? el plano topogr?fico (planimetr?a-altimetria), y a parta- de ?ste de desarrollaron con tecnolog?as SIG, los tapas de variabilidad espacial de las caracter?sticas del suelo, adem?s se dise?? el programa de BPA's por sitio espec?fico para el predio la LUNA que comprende los cultivos de frijol y c?tricos, el cual se dise?? de la manera m?s ecol?gica a nuestro alcance, realizando un manejo de suelos, agua, fertilizaci?n, plagas y enfermedades integrados. Se dise?? el programa de manera que sea auto-sostenible, contemplando la producci?n s insumos agr?colas mediante la Biof?brica, con producci?n de compostaje a partir de elementos provenientes de la misma finca, as? generando un manejo adecuado de los asiduos s?lidos.
