Abstract

Rural areas in developing countries are often the breeding ground as well as the testing ground for economic theory. Two rural towns near Santiago, Chile became of particular interest to me, as they were very similar in many aspects of their economic structure yet very different in others. In studying and comparing these two towns, it became evident that a certain combination of economic factors in these towns did yield the outcome that economic theory would predict.
