WAINER, Andrés. Beyond the currency board: big companies. Prob. Des [online]. 2011, vol.42, n.164, pp.99-126. ISSN 0301-7036.

In this article, we analyze the performance of the largest companies in Argentina based on the abandonment of the currency convertibility system in 2002. The objective is to analyze continuities and breaks in the concentration and "foreignization" process which the Argentine economy suffered in the 1990s and the differential impact of the new economic policy on specific types of companies. The analysis starts with the year 1998, which was when the economic crisis began, culminating in the implementation of a new macroeconomic system based on the currency devaluation of 2002.
