Title: Do institutions and ideology matter for economic growth in Latin America in the 
	 first two decades of the 21st century?
Abstract: Institutions have a positive, strong and significant impact on GDP
	 growth; in 20 Latin American countries between 2002 and 2018. Government
	 size has a negative impact on GDP growth itself but, in interaction with
	 strong institutions, the effect of government size on growth turns to
	 positive and significant, while political ideology has no significant
	 effect on economic growth.
