Economic development and structural change: The role of the service sector
提出新的函数形式来研究发展过程中的结构变迁模式,发现发达和发展中国家存在清晰的结构变迁规律。
This paper provides evidence on patterns of structural change during development, examining in particular how cross‐section studies can accommodate the recent evidence on ‘de‐industralisation’ in many developed countries. It is argued that functional forms used previously are now inappropriate and new functional forms are proposed. It is found, using these functional forms, that empirical evidence supports the existence of clear patterns of structural change across developed and developing countries.
