Be creative in finding significant variables to compare. 

What’s the story behind Chile’s economic miracle? Why is Chile doing so well? 
And on the other hand, what happened in Argentina in 2001? What caused their worst economic crisis?

Also make a comparative analysis between the Stock Exchange of Mexico, USA and Brazil (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, http://www.bmv.com.mx/, Bovespa in Brazil http://www.bovespa.com.br/indexi.asp and the New York Stock Exchange or NASDAQ) there are English versions for Mexico and Brazil Stock Exchange. 
Compare number of companies, main industries, volume of actions, percentage of growth, etc.

What are the main industries in the top ten list of each Stock Exchange (Mexico, USA and Brazil) Compare the nature of the industries of the top ten list of each Stock Exchange: Are they in that position because of the same reasons? Do they have the same levels of competitiveness? Are they in because they are very innovative or because they have too much market power due to oligopolistic and protected market structures?
