In the absence of comparable macroeconomic indicators for most of the Latin American economies before
the 1930s, the apparent consumption of energy is used in this paper as a proxy of the degree of
modernization of Latin America and the Caribbean. This paper presents an estimate of the apparent
consumption per head of modern energies (coal, petroleum, and hydroelectricity) for 30 countries of the
region, 1890 to 1925. As a result, it provides the basis for a quantitative comparative analysis of
modernization performance beyond the few countries for which historical national accounts are available in
Latin America. [--]
