advantage from a of ARKLEMS+LAND database series 3.0 preliminary version updated up to 2010. This
database are based on the methodology presented in Coremberg (2009) (2001), including not only ICT

Land and Subsoil Assets services contributions to GDP growth.
The paper presents mainly the contents and methodology of ARKLEMS +LAND series and some
analytical results on the causes of TFP slowdown during different macroeconomic regimes of last two
decades based on the disaggregation of short run from long run productivity effect.
Main findings showed that the Argentine economy could not take advantage in the long run from
positive spillovers and complementarities from special inputs and dynamic sectors in every
macroeconomic regime during the last two decades.
According to these diagnose, the paper presents a discussion about what kind of growth
strategies could Argentina follow and the different scenarios that the country could attain after global
