520 _aThis paper examines structural adjustment policies in developing economies, defined as policy responses to external or internal shocks that are carried out with the objective of regaining the pre-shock growth path. Examples of external shocks are the quadrupling of petroleum prices of 1973-74 and the world recession of 1974-75. Internal shocks may find their origin in Inappropriate economic policies, such as the excessively expansionary fiscal measures taken in Mexico after 1972, or in political events, such as the April 1974 Revolution in Portugal.
