Disarticulation and Human Welfare in Less Developed Countries
研究提出经济部门间的脱节（不同发展水平和生产力的部门并存）会抑制经济增长的扩散效应，从而对欠发达国家的人类福利产生负面影响，尤其在最贫困国家中效应最强。
Disarticulation refers to the juxtaposition of economic sectors with different levels of development and productivity. Disarticulation is hypothesized to have a negative effect on social well-being, net of economic development, because it inhibits the spread effects generally thought to be associated with economic growth. Findings are in accord with this hypothesis, although the relationship is complex. The strongest effects of disarticulation are found among the poorest nations. The concept of disarticulation opens a new and promising avenue of research that may help to resolve contradictory findings of recent research on the political economy of growth.
