HUMBERTO ORTIZ, Carlos. Economic growth consequences of structural stagnation: A two-sector model of productive diversification. Lect. Econ. [online]. 2013, n.78, pp.73-113. ISSN 0120-2596.
The role of manufacturing input diversification is addressed in a two-sector model of endogenous growth. The general economic equilibrium is solved for the world. It is also solved for a small country with scant capital accumulation, low input diversification and high agricultural productivity. In this set up, developed economies lead the world structural transformation and achieve increasing growth rates by carrying out processes of productive diversification. For each country, the model yields that specialization may enhance economic development if factor prices are internationally equalized. However, due to terms of trade deterioration, factor prices are lower in underdeveloped economies. Hence, specialization of the small country according to its comparative advantages -structural stagnation- generates an inferior path of economic development (lower income and slower growth).
