A Manufacturing (Re)Naissance? Industrialization in the Developing World
利用1990-2018年51个经济体的新数据库，发现2000年以来多个中等收入国家出现制造业复兴，许多低收入亚洲和撒哈拉以南非洲国家也在工业化，后者以未注册企业扩大就业为特征。
This paper examines industrialization in developing countries. It introduces the GGDC/UNU-WIDER Economic Transformation Database, which provides consistent annual data of employment, real and nominal value added by 12 sectors in 51 economies for the period 1990–2018. Regressions that control for income and population indicate a manufacturing renaissance in several middle-income countries since the 2000s. We observe industrialization in many low-income Asian and sub-Saharan African countries. The industrial naissance in sub-Saharan Africa appears characterized by unregistered firms that expand employment.
