Cuban Economic Performance in Retrospect

Department of Economics, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1220, USA, fthom{at}umich.edu

The performance of the Cuban economy during the past half century is evaluated. The primary focus is on per capita GDP, but consideration is given as well to the Human Development Index (HDI) and even broader conceptions of human development. The summary conclusion is that Cuba has performed well neither absolutely nor in comparison with the rest of Latin America and that the main causes for this must be domestic.

Key Words: Cuba • growth • development
