Abstract
This chapter aims at contributing to this debate from a new perspec- tive. On the one hand, it assesses the evolution of Bolivian exports by using a new corrected series which subtracts re-exportations and exports of specie from the original official sources. Whereas this problem has been identified long time ago (Ruiz Gonzáles, 1955, p. 62), it has been corrected just recently (Peres-Cajías & Carreras-Marín, 2018).3 On the other hand, it offers a set of indicators that show both the direct and indirect contribution of Bolivian exports on the overall economy. Two of them have been calculated for the first time in the Bolivian case: the direct contribution of exports to economic growth and the changing composition of imports from 1913 to 1927.
