The Role of Comparative Advantage, Endowments, and Technology in Structural Transformation
No full textEvolutionary models’ comparative analysis. Methodology proposition based on selected neo-schumpeterian models of industrial dynamics
Full text linkA methodology of comparative analysis of evolutionary models is proposed. The main aim of this proposition is to identify to what extend different models can be called âevolutionary onesâ. Each model is analysed by searching for answers to following questions: Is the model dynamical one? Is it focused on far-from-equilibrium analysis? What are a unit of evolution and a unit of selection? Is diversity and heterogeneity of economic agents and their behaviour observed? Is search for innovation based on a concept of hereditary information (knowledge)? What kinds of innovation does the model describe? Does selection process lead to diversified rate of growth and spontaneity of development? How economic agents set prices? What kind of products are described by the model? Are decision making procedures and investment procedures present in the model? Outline of selected schumpeterian models is accompanied by identification of crucial evolutionary characteristics of each model and a short indication of phenomena explained by that model.Evolutionary economics, neo-schumpeterian models, simulation
Structural Change and the Environment
No full textStructural change usually refers to changes in the employment and value-added composition of an economy, driven by the evolution of markets, technology and demand. The composition of the economy—sector shares and sector integration at the national and global level—helps explain key aggregate indicators such as labour productivity. In terms of the environment, ‘environmental productivity’ (Gilli et al. 2014; Gilli et al. 2013) is one of the key factors that could help define a sustainable path in line with a structural change oriented sustainable development perspective.
Seminal analyses related to structural change (McMillan & Rodrik 2011; Timmer & Szirmai 2000) emphasize the role of structural change as a driver of differential growth across countries due to heterogeneous shifts from low to high value-added activities. Asia is often used as an example of this, with many Asian countries having shifted their production structures from low to high value-added sectors, especially when compared with South America and Africa, which have seen shifts in the opposite direction
