Representing Structural Change in U.S. Migration Patterns

Patterns of US Internal Migration in late 90s

Structural and productivity change in US agriculture , 1950 – 1982

This paper tests whether structural change in US agriculture is an important channel to TFP growth and evaluates the relative impact of (i) public research and education policies, (ii) private R&D and market forces, and (iii) government farm programs on structural change. We specify a structural econometric model, fit it to US state aggregate data, 1953–1982, and use the associated reduced-form...

Emerging Patterns of Manufacturing Structural Change

In the past, research on changes in relative importance among broad three sectors— agriculture, industry, and service—showed general patterns of a country’s structural transformation along with economic development. However, there has been devoid of empirical studies investigating in the structural change within the manufacturing sector, which often plays a role of the engine in economic growth...

Structural change patterns and development in open economies∗

The share of manufacturing in output follows an inverted U shape over the course of development. However, both the timing and the magnitude of structural change differ substantially across countries. I show a simple open economy model of structural change can explain why countries with lower aggregate productivity industrialize more slowly and start de-industrialization at a lower share of manu...
