Emerging Patterns of Manufacturing Structural Change
نویسنده
چکیده
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. Our analysis looks into the evolution of production structures prevailing at certain development stages while controlling for country-given characteristics such as size, resource endowments, and others. This can provide an industrial policy framework for structural change facilitation that can lead to sustained economic development in the long-run.

Specialization Patterns of European Countries
This paper investigates patterns of structural change and specialization of Western European Countries for the period 1970 to 2005. We therefore assign individual countries to clubs, i.e. groups of countries which share common features, and analyze the development of both the clubs and their individual countries over time. Our results also show that structural convergence in Western Europe is m...
متن کاملStructural 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...
متن کاملStructural Change in an Interdependent World: a Global View of Manufacturing Decline
This paper presents a simple model of the world economy, in which productivity gains in manufacturing are responsible for the global trend of manufacturing decline, and yet, in cross-section of countries, faster productivity gains in manufacturing do not necessarily imply faster declines in manufacturing. In doing so, it aims to draw attention to the common pitfall of using the cross-country ev...
