A Multi-Sectoral Balance-of-Payments-Constrained Growth Model with Sectoral Heterogeneity: International Competition, Productivity Dynamics, and Economic Growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study builds a multi-sectoral balance-of-payments constrained growth model that incorporates some structural heterogeneity between sectors and countries, such as differences in labor productivity, price competition, share of exports and imports, and the quality of commodities. The model in the current paper generates more comprehensive results than Thirlwall (1979), Blecker (1998), and Araujo and Lima (2007), even though it contains their properties and reproduces their implications. Furthermore, as compared with these existing works, the current model sheds more light on the relationship between trade structure, international competition, productivity dynamics, and economic growth. It also shows an example of the fallacy of composition that there are differences between microeconomic and macroeconomic phenomena, by illustrating how changes in nominal wage, the Kaldor– Verdoorn effect, and the degree of market competition in both countries affect the economic growth of the home country.

متن کاملBalance of Payment Constrained Growth in Tow Developing and Developed Oil-Exporting Economies (Case Study: Iran and Norway)
In this study, we aim to compare results of the basic and extensive forms of the Thirlwall model (balance of payment constrained growth model) for two economies including Iran and Norway. In this model, demand variables i. e. export and import determine the limit of economic growth in the long run. The balance of payment (deficit) can be a factor as a constraint on the rate of growth of output ...
متن کاملBusiness and Financial Services: New Engine of Economic Growth?
Does unbalanced sectoral productivity growth inevitably lead to continuous shift of resources to the less productive sectors and stagnation in aggregate productivity? This paper attempts to integrate the traditional stagnationist and the modern optimist arguments within a numerical simulation framework. The simulation framework consists of an applied general equilibrium multi-sectoral growth mo...
