Patterns of development, 1950 to 1983
Syrquin, Moshe | Chenery, Hollis B.
The main purpose of this report is to provide more accurate measures of the dimensions of structural transformation during the process of development, by estimating long-run patterns of development for the period 1950-83. By including the turbulent decade after 1973 it tries to assess the stability of estimates of long run transformation and the robustness of inferences derived from data about the pre-1973 period. The relatively long time-series for a large number of countries allow a more detailed examination of the relation between cross-section and time-series estimates. The typology of development patterns used in previous studies is elaborated and expanded. The study focuses on processes of resource allocation, specifically on the structures of final demand, trade, production and employment. The samples consist of up to 108 economies over the period 1950-83.
