Yapısal Değişimin Yapısı ve Büyüme

This paper examines the relationship between the structure of manufacturing production/trade and industrial development and tests whether there is structural convergence, i.e., whether the industrial structures of developed and developing countries are becoming similar. Our results suggest that there is a strong relationship between industrial structure and growth. We also show that the industrial structures of developed and developing countries change over time but do not converge, i.e. the "polarized" structure of the world economy persists despite changes in industrial structure.
