| This article aims to test the impact of the Peronist constitutional reform of 1949 on Argentina's short-term economic growth. We are the first article to assess the short-term effect of this institutional reform. We applied the Synthetic Control Method to data from The Maddion Project. The results show that the constitutional changes in 1949 had an average negative effect of US$ 1,330.05 on per capita income. The results remain robust to several strategies: Leave-One-Out, Alternative Synthetic Control Method, and the Synthetic Difference-in-Differences method. |
