Italian term or phrase: modello decotto dell’ISI
Le drastiche misure di ajuste imposte dalla crisi debitoria hanno prodotto
– come si evince dal Grafico 5 – una sostanziale riduzione del gravame del debito rispetto al Pil precipitato della metà dal 1998 al 2014, o molto di più se si computa al netto delle riserve cumulate (dal 28% al 5.7%).
Per quel che si riferisce ai flussi di risorse, l’inflow esterno non è ser- vito a sospingere il modello decotto dell’ISI, né a finanziare la rendita e l’espatrio di risorse verso piazze più remunerative – tutti elementi con- correnti alla stagflazione degli anni Ottanta e alla necessità di ricorrere a rinegoziazioni del debito multi o bi-laterali

English translation:failed ISI model
Explanation:
In italian, "decotto" means "insolvent" if we refer to a company. As here the text refers to an economic model, I would suggest the term "FAILED"
My best guess is that the acronym ISI refers to "Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI)", a trade and economic policy which advocates replacing foreign imports with domestic production. (this should be checked with the client for clarification)

Explanation:
while the direct translation, decoction, exists, the meaning is clearly the pejorative and much more common concocted. Don't have to know what ISI is,either !

agree  Cedric Randolph: The contextual tone seems to substantiate your theory

disagree  philgoddard: I can't find any dictionary support for this, and the contextual tone is neutral.

agree  Michael Korovkin: "decotto" IS the context here: if not pejorative it's certainly flippant(cooked up or rather brewed up)...unless of course there is some "dictionary" "supporting" a thesis that "decotto" may be appropriate and "neutral" for an economics text...

Example sentence(s):
  • "In buona sostanza, Cuba era un’economia decotta che veniva sovvenzionata dall’Unione Sovietica"
  • "trattasi di un titolo con rating “spazzatura”, di un’economia decotta e che ha dovuto ristrutturare il suo debito sovrano nel 2012"
