This paper analyzes the accumulation model and hegemonic disputes that took place under the first administration of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. First, this article examines some core structural elements that shaped transformations and tension at the model level: industrial performance, the energy crisis, changes in the world of finance, and the status of subordinated classes. Subsequently, this paper looks at three key moments in the political dynamics of the economic policy: tax withholdings and the agrarian conflict, the launch of the national plan to confront the global crisis, and the progressivist radicalization of public policy. The questions guiding this work are as follows: what are the characteristics of the accumulation model? How are the hegemonic disputes tied to the performance of the model in Argentina between 2008 and 2011?. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyses the internal dynamic behaviour of the growth rate of gross national product of Argentina in the period 1991-2006, considering the possible disaggregated by sectors and provinces. For this purpose, it analyzes the empirical distribution of growth according to each breakdown and specifies an econometric model based on Markov chains, estimating transition probabilities matrixes between sectors and regions. It concludes that while there is greater stability or persistence for both breakdowns regarding the extreme ranges of variation of growth rate, in general there is a high mobility, and even more in the ergodic or steady state trend.
